Adaptable Stools (2017)
This project conducted an experimental design-and-build exercise within a short (2-week) timeframe. Its outcomes, Adaptable Stools, explored the potential of 3D printing. Constrained by the scale and expense of 3D printing, the prototypes comprise of small jointing-mechanisms that support full-scale stools. Through iterative prototyping, the project developed stools with intricate and moveable joints. Stool 1 uses minimal surfaces to reduce material use; Stool 2 folds away through rotation of interlocking joints for easy storage and transportation; Stool 3 employs a detachable swivel-top to allow the user to rotate when seated.
