An investigation in structural folding, Felt Stool is comprised primarily of a sheet of felt, folded and riveted to simultaneously create structural volume and upholstery. In the spirit of origami, a series of folding patterns were developed, each starting with a single sheet of industrial felt. As the exploration evolved, the pattern was refined to efficiently use material and create a comfortable, saddle-shaped seat. The resulting Felt Stool is available here, and a part of the Museum of Modern Art's Permanent Collection, Department of Architecture & Design.
