Continuing on with my project, I began to sketch out some
design ideas that I felt could work well as flat pack furniture. I showed my
client my ideas and asked for feedback. She said that the designs looked more
like an office or garden chair and she wanted something a bit more homely and
suggested I could create a stool.
I began playing around with different shapes and designs and
finding the most convenient way to fold them away. This was a rather difficult
process as once I created a design; it was hard to find a way for it to be
folded away. I began playing with symmetrical shapes as these can easily be
folded in half. I came up with a design that would easily fold into a cube that
my client would be able to sit on. The cuts on the edges ensured that when made
into a cube, it was secure and everything locked in together. I was pleased
with this idea, however the design for me was too simple and I wanted to challenge
myself even further.
I decided to develop upon the cube idea and create something
that was more modern and aesthetically pleasing. I came up with the idea of creating a stool where the leg can be folded together and the seat folds on top. The stool can then be easily stored away for transported from place to place. I created a Sketchup design of my model and finalised my idea. My last step was to present my idea to my client. This time she was pleased with the final outcome.
