The class shank was very similar to that of the original Brass Rat from 1930. The traditional Boston and Cambridge skylines are included on the sides of the ring, but the Cambridge skyline is set at night, with a crescent moon in the sky. The real design included many traditional features, but also was the first to feature the hacker’s map depicting all the campus buildings reachable by underground tunnels. Motola-Barnes ’08 stepped to the podium and said “that was a joke,” the audience responded with whoops and cheers. Murmurs of “pure confusion” could be heard from the audience, said Geltman. However, before the unveiling of the real bezel, a spoof version featuring a cartoon beaver was presented. This year’s ring is “simple and elegant,” and students generally liked the design, though a few said that it lacked symbols special to the Class of 2008, said Ring Committee Chairman Joshua A. last Friday, the line of students awaiting the unveiling of the Class of 2008 brass rat stretched almost to Massachusetts Avenue. “But I hope to see them in planes within the next few years.PDF of This Issue Traditional Design, Seal Featured on 2008 Brass Ratīy the time the doors to Kresge Auditorium opened at 7:30 p.m. It’s a lot harder to get into the aviation market with regulations and costs,” he explains. “Currently my focus is on theater seating companies. Lee says his design can be helpful in any high-density seating arrangement. So when can we expect to say farewell to armrest battles and see Lee’s innovative designs? Hopefully soon. Lee now has several design solutions for airplane seating, including Caterpillar Convertible Seating, which won a Crystal Cabin award in 2014.

Lee kept designing innovative solutions for aircraft seating in his free time until 2012 when he founded Paperclip Design. “Aircraft seating combines a few things I really like: mechanical engineering and aviation-I’m an airplane nerd-and also design,” Lee says. The Paperclip Armrest allows two people to share one armrest. Lee took home one of the six Crystal Cabins Awards that night. The result was a paperclip style armrest like his original design that he snapped to an IKEA folding chair. “I submitted my idea and it got in the finals,” Lee says, which pushed him to make his first real prototype. It wasn’t until 2009 when Lee submitted his armrest design to the Crystal Cabin Awards-the only international awards for aircraft interior innovation-that his design started to take off. Lee kept armrest design as a hobby during his time at the MIT International Center for Air Transportation and as he began working for Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific. This design allows for two separate arms on one armrest. The armrest is two levels with the top level slightly more forward and shorter than the bottom level. I looked at where his arms were positioned and realized if the armrest were double level, then there could be space for me to place my arms,” he explains.Īrmed with a problem and a passion for aircraft seating design-something Lee says he’s always been interested in-Lee came up with a simple armrest design that looks like a paperclip. “I was in packed lecture hall at MIT, in 10-250, and the person next to me kept his arms on both armrests. Lee was in the first year of his studies at MIT when the idea for a uniquely designed armrest came to him. The potential dangers of sharing an armrest. Have you ever battled with a stranger for an armrest on a plane? James Lee SM ’08 has-that’s what prompted him to design the Paperclip Armrest.
