This Astral chair is based on a butterfly shape. Butterflies are to have one of the animals that has a unique design among animals. I choose butterflies as my reference because butterflies have many legs and each butterfly leg has different size legs. Butterflies also have winged parts that are of interest to me. Butterflies are very good fliers. They have two pairs of large wings covered with colourful, iridescent scales in overlapping rows. Butterflies have advantages such as using their feet to taste their food. I chose the butterfly as a reference because the butterfly has a unique advantage in its wing parts. The butterfly wings became a reference to the chair I chose which was the armchair. Butterfly wings also allow butterflies to fly easily because they have a strong force. Butterfly wings also have an interesting shape and their advantages. Among them is to defend themselves from the enemy. For this chair of mine, I used butterfly wings as reference material. I use iron material on the part of my chair and a cushion on the sitting part. Next, the chair uses welding as a connector of alloy material to other iron. On the main body part and legs of the chair, I use 100% alloy. Other than that, I use a fabric cushion as the seat of my chair. Hence, I also use blue as the colour on my chair because I am attracted to the uniqueness of the colour blue in the crowd
