esquisse three - interlocking systems

The hardest part to this exercise was the amount of cardboard we had to create the stool, but after a bit of mucking around i went with this design - which consists of different parts and triangles that interlock each other. Ideally it would have a top to balance the load and make it stronger.

esquisse two - understanding form

I started to experiment with a couple of different options when it came to the construction of the pyramid and decided the triangles off each other was the way to go due to a neater fold. The thing i found the most challenging was the join but in the end this tab option worked quite well.....

esquisse one - understanding material

after a bit of trying, I was happy to master some corner making technique ..
