MY DESIGN APPROACH
From the design philosophy of Ulmer Stool, of pure functional aesthetic, and multipurpose usability ;
The Loop Table and Donald Judd’s table,
of honest use of material, right-angle geometry, joining technique, support mechanism, and form;
has inspired my design approach to my stool,
using pine as my material choice, and enjoying it’s natural colour and grain appearance as the aesthetics.
The box-joint techique is used to join the seating and side,
whist the standing frames, and storage support is fastened by the groove-and-shoulder joins.
My stool design has a multipurpose function, as there are two modes of seating,
storage for house items (e.g. books), and could also be a side-table, and also it could become a modular piece.
From one piece of 1800mm by 285mm pine,
the material was more than enough to generate my stool design, of 360mm x 285mm x 437mm.
Hand craft skills were developed and learnt in the lessons and workshop
- using the bandsaw and chisel to generate box joints;
- hand-router-machine to cut grooves;
- bandsaw to form the shoulders
