STOOL

STOOL
Design Brief
Using CNC milling equipment and other processes, design and manufacture a functional Stool. We were to work in groups of two.
Moodboard
Ideation: Rapid Visualization
After our first sketch presentation we received a lot of criticism on our design. For the most part people gravitated towards our rotational seat and our modular back rest design so we decided to capitalize on this and emphasize those factors in the the refined sketches.
Parameters
• Round Seat
• Square Base
• 2 Part design
• Removable Back Rest
• Rotating Seat
• 17-20” inches in height
Ideation: Refined Sketches
Ideation: Rapid Prototyping
After seeing both of our secondary sketches we decided to focus our design around relative aspects that we both brought to our sketches.
Feature Testing: Backrest mounting mechanism
Feature Testing: Kerf Bending (done with table saw)
Manufacturing: CNC
Manufacturing: Kerf bending
Manufacturing: Finishing
Manufacturing: Assembly (friction fits, screws, and wood glue)
Final Prototype
