I just posted a photo of the first prototype for the bubble model on the main project page. I'll post new ones as the reward develops. Make sure to check back.
I just posted three new free desktop backgrounds to the Soap Bubble Chair facebook group for use on your iPad or personal computer. Should post one for the iPhone soon. Share with you friends!

My heartfelt thanks and inclusion on the list of kickstarter contributors on my website. Every little bit counts, and every contribution will be sincerely appreciated and highly useful.

Your choice from three renderings of the chair: 1) Soap Bubble Render, 2) Finished Production Render, or 3) Architectural Linework Render. Each render will be signed. The first render depicts the chair in soapy water, the second as it may appear in final fabricated form, and the third will depict the chair in architectural linework. Each render will show the chair not only in a perspective view, but also the standard orthogonal views from the side, front and the top.

All 3 renderings, the Soap Bubble Render, the Finished Production Render, and the Architectural Linework Render. Each render will show the chair not only in a perspective view, but also the standard orthogonal views from the side, front and the top and will be signed.

PDF Booklet. A short booklet PDF around 20 pages long, delivered in printed form, that describes the concepts behind the shape of a soap film and its applications in architectural and industrial design. Plus, all 3 renderings.

The Small Model. A white 3-D printed scale model of the chair measuring 7 x 6.2 x 4.1cm. Plus, all 3 renderings.

The Medium Model. A white 3-D printed scale model of the chair measuring 9 x 7.8 x 5.3cm. Plus, all 3 renderings.

Bubble Model. This 3-dimensional model will depict the chair in actual soapy water. Rather than see the shape in plastic, the form of the chair will emerge once the model is dunked in soapy water, much like a child's toy. Plus, the small sculpture, the soft copy of the PDF Booklet and one of the $15 renders.

Solid Model Subscription. As the design progresses from its current shape to final form, I will send updated solid models with the latest improvements. Once I have finalized the design, the subscription will posit a couple of additional speculative schemes for a chair in the shape of a soap bubble since there are many more possibilities than just the common four legged scheme. The subscription will begin with the large solid model offered above and will include at least 3 subsequent solid models. Plus, the bubble model, the PDF Booklet and all 3 renderings.
