We had an initial idea for our seat that we came up with in class time. We were working with a hexagon shape with triangulation inside to secure it. Working out how we were going to produce the triangles and at what size proved difficult and took many tries when cutting them out. After hunting around for cardboard big enough as we needed 1.260m to be able to draw our design on we started making small folds and models in thinner card. We also set ourselves a brief of the stool being 420mm high and have some sort of combined backrest/table. This was not planned until we were physically building it as what we could experiment with on paper was limited. We made lots of tiny paper folds and then a half scale mock up and hoped it would work! In the end it turned out very sturdy and had a ledge that acted as a table.
