The final concept of the stool idea has been edited and adapted into a three individual stool seats that can be linked together to form one bench. This allows the concept of the stool/bench for meeting area at salone satellite to be extended or used as individual seating, more flexible than the original 'L' shaped bench.
This piece also folds and locks together from one piece rather t
han interlocking with the 'slot system. I began by planning and measuring and working out proportions and sufficient
support for each stool before
I looked at a link system. The initial trials with the thinner practice piece did end up by trial 3 being strong enou
gh. Once I began with Xnita it was a challenge getting the cut sides and sections correct with a successful lock and slot system to link.
Once I began trialing with Xnita I realised that there also needed to be a locking system for the side flaps and lock into the side legs, once this was created the strength of the individual piece was strong enough to hold weight and not be hesitate when sitting. Then the weight test was put into practice by having three different weight people sit on the three stools while linked and it worked!!!
