1:1 Model trial: Two seater stool










This was a locking system trial down in class to generate ideas of how to lock my concepts together has that has been where I have been struggling the most, I think I will be able to adapt this and apply to one of my concepts.














Here is my 1:1 model, it is still incorporating the concept of a two in one seat with an 'L' shape. It did hold me but was not very sturdy but think the strong Xnita board will hold, I am worried though it is not creative enough in its form??

1:1 Mock up trial Bench

I developed the three concepts further with the idea of a two in one seat in developing a collapsable bench that can be moved around to a private area for meetings. I then attempting to do a one to one mock up, however I have still not mastered a locking systems, although I could sit on it and it did hold my weight, it was about to break as there is currently no locking systems in there. This needs to be developed with perhaps another fold and the triangulation slotting into one of the sides. Still being developed.

Three Concepts Developed

Research into 'Two in one" chair concepts, as I am aiming to design a two in one chair that can be added to the Salone Satellite as a portable meeting option between young designers and potential employees, to create a private area for discussions within large exhibition space.














Here are three concepts revolving around my idea of a two in one chair with a connecting table in two concepts. The first is a compact box with a smaller bench stool inside to determine heir-achy and two seating options which can be easily picked up and moved to find
private space. The second is attempting to insert a curve into the design with a common bench linking the chairs and adding structural support. The third idea is a box concept which out fold two three sided stools with a diagonal triangulation for support and a handle for the box which inserts into each stool creating a bench.
