#stool project

Gonna try and turn this shape into a fish.

Found this cute lil stool cleaning out my great aunt’s house. The holes don’t really bother me, as they don’t impede the item’s function, but it would look nice. And perhaps protect it from future kitty depredation.

Trying to get back into actually doing projects now that the move is complete and I’m finally getting my studio workspace set up.

Sit Tight On Obedient Legs

Today we begin our next big project in ID Principles: to create a stool using 2 planar and 2 linear materials (one of each minimum), to be submitted and sat on by Dec. 10th. Having just completed the Fruit Holder Exercise (post forthcoming), in which we essentially created stools for fruit, we are now moving in to the real deal. Sketches and sketch models will be due next week, then concept refinement and ultimate construction.

I'm incredible excited about this project because the results will be tangible and highly portable in a portfolio context. I'm interesting in: static tension/integrity, flat-pack, clever, ergonomics/designed instability. Here's some inspiration:
