The above are pictures of the making of the foundation of the chair, the skeleton, before it is upholstered at Pearson.

Another note on Wesley Mancini which I had talked about in the previous blog, here are some Words of Wisdom Download file on Textile design portfolios, or portfolios in general.

This isn’t your professors notes but from someone in the actual industry!!
