I previously blogged in December about my furniture project and the '101 Theory' to do with the way in which people sit in public. The '101 Stool' is a stool that we have designed around this theory, principally for the general public. Each stool moves on 4 ball transfers, has the ability to connect to other alike stools and is made from Oak and Beech Plywood. Therefore with this ability to connect stools, if you want to sit by yourself you can but if you are with a group of people you can join your stools enabling you to sit collectively together.
The two white boxes that can be seen on the presentation boards are representations of the stool as we didn't have enough time or materials to make more. However, in theory there would be multiples of identical '101 Stool's.
We also had the thought of creating a track in which you could move along on your stool e.g. the track and stools could be positioned in a certain way in a museum, so that the general public would be able to sit and move around and be directed to the best viewing points and so on.
