Bending stool

BRIEF : Stool designing was mainly aimed with human comfort and visually to give a cantilever feeling visually by adding a junction or joinery so that seat and legs are indirectly connected. Seat flexibility was the main focusing element and considering the minimum weight , material cost and reduction in excessive material to make . Design is made from flexi ply and metal pipe and visually balancing the bulkiness and weight by metal pipe .
