What Inspired me to take further modification to the stool

Final Design........

Final Design......

Final Design: Rethink about use of material

The primer coating 












 Using bog to fill holes and chips into the wood.

Due to the material being overweight, i have decided to reduce the use of the 12mm plywood to 9mm. And  use only one 12mm plywood as a support.

Final Design: Orthographic projection, Isometric view and Exploded view

Workshop Experimentation: Building process and issues within

During the building process I noticed that the weight would be over the limit by 500grms. I am still investigating about how to reduce the weight of the stool by keeping its overall shape

Workshop Experimentation: Testing Prototype

After testing, we noticed that balsa wood was too soft and the front foot needed more
attention.

Design Review: Exploded view and Orthographic views

Design Review: 1:1 side elevation

Research: Material Testing B

The material i tested was foam, pvc pipe, bending wire, acrylic and polyprop. Using the foam as the seat makes the user feel more comfortable and it also hides the construction part of the stool. The bad thing about foam is that it tends to wear with time. The pvc piping can be used for the structural part of th

e stool, but i might get warped or broke if heavy weight is applied on it. Bending wire is a way for providing an original way for a seat, but with time, the metal tends to oxydide and makes the seat dirty. Acrylic sheet is also a way to provide structural strength, because its not that flexible easy to work with. It is also weatherproof, the bad side is that it tends to get heavy.
