The Hybrid Stool

The Hybrid Stool

The goal  was to explore the potential benefit of combining timber and carbon fibers into an highly performative artefact. The task was approached both from a design perspective as well as from a more engineering point of view. During this process, students went through different stages of experiment and refinement. Their work mostly concentrated on developing a new approach for the legs of the stool while the seating was kept more conventional as a simple wooden element. The output is a fully functional stool showcasing a novel approach of combining two materials into a striking slender structure.
