Cantilever Stool designed for a material and joinery exploration course. 

The design has a minimilast approach, and combines comfort with modernity. 

I have used clean, straight lines and there is a seamless flow in the interaction of different materials. 

The M.S frame can be used as an armrest or a backrest. 

I have used Teak wood, square Mild Steel pipe, 
Plywood and Foam upholstered with cloth and Bamboo(for dowels).

 I have explored various joineries for the combination of materials -

Tenon & Mortise, Dowels, Half-Lap joints have been used for the wooden pieces.

The M.S. frame has been inserted into grooves and then secured using metal plates screwed into the wood.

The stool was a part of the furniture display for the 2011 Convocation at NID.
