Stool Design

This sketch page is a collection of stool and seat pan ideas I've been inspired to come up with after sketching furniture/ chairs. The idea is for an artist's studio stool. It's something that I explored in school but I was never truly satisfied with the result of my efforts. In these sketches I'm aiming to capture a "workmanship" like appearance- unassuming and solid, but I am also trying to arrive at a design that reflects the "zeitgeist" and has a elegant sense of proportions in the legs and seat pan. Something that struck me about the Bouroullec brothers' chair is that it has a blue collar / unadorned sensibility at first glance, but upon closer inspection it has spectacular refinement that only highly trained and experienced designers could accomplish. I like the larger sketch on the left, although the two right large sketches are also rather interesting. Let me know what you think!

See you tomorrow!
