Playful

This is a stool with a moving seating surface from a project where we had to create a 3-dimensional movement with a 2-dimensional material. I wanted to work with the qualities of the material and see what function I could get from it. There is a holding construction in the middle with an axis on the top which creates the movement on the surface. All the parts of the construction is put together without any screws or glue, it’s all held together by the elastic band around it and by the weight of the person using it. The elastic band around the stool also makes the seat surface bounce back to it’s horizontal position when you aren’t using it. The red lines is also there to create a see trough surface that give the stool a volume and the option to create different looks of the furniture.
The stool has a diameter of 370 mm and is 440 mm high.
