Vitra HAL Armchair CAD Sculpting Exercise

We are into our third week of ‘lock down’ in New Zealand and I have used some of my time to improve my modelling skills. This week, I picked the HAL Armchair by Jasper Morrison. The chair has quite a fluid form and aesthetically is very clean. There are a few tricky areas where the arm blends into the main form. I ended up using some overbuilt surfaces with trims to achieve the n-sided blends.
