Stool Document
1. I made this stool with an intention that
this design should make people not only rest but also fun. For that, first I
imagined that who would sit this chair. It is of course good if it is used for
everyone with any purpose, but for my stool, I decided that somebody who is
physically and mentally tired will be the perfect person to sit here to rest.
Because it is made of paper, it is not supposed to be stable chair for some
people who study for a long time.
2. To
make people physically feel comfortable, I had to make them not feel their
weight. However, I changed my mind, and began to make it intentionally ‘not
stable.’ Like a swing chair or hammock, something movable make people feel more
comfortable. With five large vertical rectangles pointing centre with connected
edges, people are able to move their body twisting or rolling from side to
side.
3. To make people mentally rest, I borrowed an idea of “marble rail” such as the picture. When the marble starts to roll at the highest point, it goes following various kinds of rails and finally arrives the lowest spot. This marble rail let people brain rest and refresh. Inspired by this, I made simplified version of marble rail at the backside of my stool in order to make people enjoy when they sit here.

4. I used two different basic strategies to
make it stable without using glue.
First, I made five vertical holes on front
bottom side to insert five rectangles into it. It makes rectangles fixed where
they need to be, and also aesthetically nailed not showing edges.
The other strategy
that I used to combine rectangles and rounded edges is to cut a little bit
horizontal way for each panel, and insert together. I used this for one of the
upper part rounded panel, and others including marble rail part are cut only
one edge and inserted. I utilized the marble rail part not only for its
function to make people mentally rest, but also for its structural strength
fixing and connecting pieces.
