While sketching some ideas for different pieces of furniture, I felt particularly drawn to forms (circled) that took inspiration from Alvar Aalto's Stool 60.

I did some materials exploration to get new ideas and see some possibilities.

I modeled a few different iterations until I had one I was satisfied with.

I've drawn up the plans and am now experimenting with kerfs in order to find the optimum placement and depth to achieve the desired radii.
