Final

General Dimension

PROTOTYPING

While constructing the stool and decided to use liquid nails in the ply wood case and with the legs to provide much more resistance. Along with the glue i screwed the legs and used a silicon based glue to attach the foam cushion to the base.

Design Refinement

I develop the connections of the legs better and realize the bottom plywood ring would be difficult to achieve and may also take up to much stool space.

Design Refinement

Along with developing the details i also begin to try different methods of how the stool can be assembled

Design Refinement

In begin to visualize the connections with the each part and develop a better understanding of the limitations of my design. This sketch displays how i should insert the plywood case and how i can insert another case through the legs

Modelling

I began to model the stool in solidworks and discovered small details that could improve the appearance of the stool. For example in the rendered image to the right the legs are visible through the outer plywood casing and the legs also have an additional plywood case going through the middle creating an interesting form

PROTOTYPING

Ply wood quite flexible however not flexible enough to cover entire cushion frame 

PROTOTYPING

I begin testing the flexibility of the ply wood and observe how i can use the material wisely without breaking it.

Prototyping

Satisfied the the final outcome of the cushion form and feel

PROTOTYPING

Finished the inside cushion now i have to place inside the outer cushion frame

prototyping

Creating a a piece long enough to wrap into a big circular form

prototyping

Beginning the inside cushion by inserting the wire piece by piece

PROTOTYPING

Ive cut the ply wood and now Im trying to make it flexible for the seat base

PROTOTYPING

The recycled bed slates for legs are cut

Here are the new thumbnails i drew from feedback on previous designs
