A throne is an individual and personal seating piece designed and constructed specifically for kings and other high dignity personalities.
Thrones are used on events of big importance and it’s function is to make the authority be perfectly distinguished from the other people on the room.
Their principal characteristics are the armrest design, the ornamentation, steps and elevated throne, a high backplate and as a complement: the room where is located and the canopy or dossal.
In this project I am proposing a metal throne for Catwoman, made out of black and red steel, drafted silver chrome, black painted treated pine wood, ruby inlays and black leather.
All these materials combined along the design, is pretended to cause a first impression of Catwoman… Her dark, sexy, modern, delicate and feminine style printed all around the throne.
I used her leather belt to create the seating cage; sphinx legs to make the throne legs, a red animal print for the inlays and drafting work; her logo on the armrest; and the backplate was a representation of her mask and her eyes.
It’s not a throne under a canopy, but it has a great base design with 3 steps (0.45 meters total height) constructed in wood and covered in steel plates. On the back, it was a cat paw structure just like if the throne was bundled up on a cat paw… In this case, Catwoman would feel, every time she sits on her throne, very close to her roots and forever welcomed and proud by them.
The MIAU Throne, was named after her all-time phrase and it’s supposed to be located in an abandoned edifice with a cat plague… It has a max. height of 2.10 meters and a max. width of 1.50 meters.
As a complement, I made a simple propose of how her related-other throne could be… Using the same design with other colors was perfect to propose Batman’s throne. They have forever established a love-hate relationship and have always had similar styles, including their costumes.
On the pictures you can see the technical plans.
