  • Your role: Design, prototyping and fabrication

A modular stool collection designed around interchangeability. I developed a single tubular-steel frame that accepts interchangeable seat elements made from cork, felt and wood, allowing the character and tactility of each piece to shift while the structure remains constant. I exhibited the collection at Made in the Middle, where I introduced the work to visitors and discussed its design and development.
