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
