The Folding Chair & Stepstool
Category:
Furniture
In this project, I made a step stool and a floor chair. The step stool is the perfect height for the side table of the floor chair.
The step stool is my first practice; it is made of Maple Wood and can be broken down into two pieces. It is not perfect for flat packaging, but I can still put it into my suitcase without sacrificing too much space.
I designed a chair this low because I like to sit on the floor or on the ground sometimes; the change of perspective makes me refresh and come up with new ideas. So, I want to make a chair to give myself a more comfortable ground-seating environment. When fully retracted, the angle between the back and the seat is 102 degrees, which is a comfortable angle within the healthy range. The void in the middle does not affect the seating and can be a place to squeeze in a pillow for more cushion.
The Folding Chair can be competely broken down to 15 pieces, it is mainly made of Kiaat Wood, the darker material of the main back frame is Mesquite Wood. This chair will not be made without the advices and help from my teacher, Tucker Houlihan.
