Solidworks Green Design Contest

The Challenge
Imagine that wealthy entrepreneur "Sir Richard Doylson" has decided to launch a new airline powered solely by algae-derived biofuels, called Greenair. Your firm, SWUGN Enterprises, has been charged with designing new “green” airport terminals for Greenair, and (of course), terminals need chairs. It’s up to you to design a chair worthy of the Greenair name, and Sir Richard’s execs will be judging your work.

Good constraints lead to inspired design, and as Earth Day reminds us, our planet provides the ultimate constraints—it can only support so much resource consumption and waste emissions. We invite you to design a new chair that’s both aesthetically appealing and fully functional, while maintaining a small environmental footprint. To do this, you can either download the starter model – a rather plain-looking, industrial affair – and modify it, or design a completely new chair yourself.
