Detachable Cantilevered stool inspiration-Coconut leaf

To design a seating that can be used when one is traveling and needs rest in between intervals of travel, the design is inspired by two logics of coconut leaf which are, the connection of leaflets to the midrib and cantilevered member of midrib to the trunk and how it withstands force in all direction.  This stool can be detached from the pole and gets flat packed and can be carried during the travel.
