    A highly durable flat pack stool that is easy to assemble and store.

The intention of this project is to design a flat pack stool through insights from precedented studies and mind maps and exploring new ideas through sketching and prototyping. The final product will be constrained to a 4’x4’x4mm sheet of coroplast and a budget of $6.
