Stool

Spring 2025 | Solo Project

Design and build a functional, lightweight, and visually compelling stool that balances form and function while adhering to strict guidelines for size, weight, and usability.

Meet Invi,

the simple, stable seat utilizing the charm of soft squares for warm, inviting living spaces.

I was inspired by…

  • quilted fabric

  • warm living room spaces

  • wood

  • words like inviting, comfort, and warm

Ideation

Starting with complex organic shapes and quilt placement exploration, I simplified my design to draw the most attention to the quilted fabric.

Jumping Into CAD

I created an exploded view assembly to understand the structure of my design.

The Build

Plywood + quilting cotton + hardboard = stool!
