Aloha - Versatile Stool

The studio focuses on metal as a material and helps gain hands on experience working with metals. The designed furniture piece should be flat pack in nature for easy logistics and easy to assemble by the users. The conceptualizing phase helped explore metal processes and the mockup scaled and 1:1 models helped in understanding the joineries, load bearing capacity and order of assembly.Aloha is stool which can blend in any given space, crafted from anodizing grade aluminium sheet and pipe which is extremely light weight of 4.2kg and very simple assembly while being flat pack in nature.
