We use chairs in our everyday lives, however, only a few of us will spend time on them and take a look at the design and structure.

When I first started with my project, I wanted to create a stool with simple geometric shapes. I picked rectangular, triangle and square because they give the impressions of hardness and strength to people. I did a lot of experiments to make my stool to look chic and tried to find the best way to combine as well as construct a secure stool. In order to make a firm stool, high intensity of the cardboard is need in my asymmetric case. I folded the cardboard into triangular pillar again and again and stuff it in my main prop. We are not allowed to apply glue or tapes on the stool, as I result, I chose to use cutting and jointing method to combine the pieces. 

The way I’m thinking about designing my stool is split it into three parts.  These parts not only act as decorations on my stool but also a way to combine and enforce the main triangular pillar. I never realized how hard it could be to make a firm stool by using cardboard.It is a really no easy task to create a sense of aesthetic and at the same time, keep it functional. I have also learned that there are limitations to put your thoughts into reality due to the materials and requirements. Even though my stool does not look like my intended design, I am surprise to see how little changes it will bring to the overall appearance and feeling of an object.

In conclusion, I did learn a lot through this project, it is a very interesting and fun project to be working on. Although my stool looks like nothing special, I still feels great to see my unique stool, full of my efforts finally accomplished.
