Prototype Sketches
Wanting to create a stool that creates a space that differs from others. The idea of placing the stool in a low position was thought of. Everyone that may see you in a lower position, will create a sensation of yourself being in a different space than others.
The final prototype was created by using the CNC machine to create a cut out to place the cushions. Adding the long runners will also provide better stability when someone sits on the stool. The side wooden piece was bent with plywood with a mold and finished by covering with maple veneer sheets.
Prototype
The prototype was mainly focused on understanding the right amount of surface area and height for people to not feel discomfort while seating on the stool. Also on how to integrate the storage/table area, to place small personal belongings.
