This week's designs are a complete departure from the metro card, the initial object that I had thrown out. I had been thinking of the subway as an egalitarian space to which the metro card grants temporary membership. This "turnstile" stool design is my first attempt at an egalitarian, public furniture intervention.
This is the stool in progress. I designed it like a kit of parts, so that it could be easily assembled by anyone.
Assembled in the studio.
Detail
Sam is demonstrating that the stool turns when only one person sits on it.
Sam and Rona have to work together to sit/lean on the stool.
Allan and I decided that the stool would be more inviting to sit on if the bar had a contour.
This is my in-progress 3d model. If I decide to continue in this direction, the finished form might look like this.
