The Gaudi Stool by Bram Geenen
The shape of the Gaudi Stool was created in the same way that Antoní Gaudi designed the structure of his churches, by making a model of hanging chains, so letting gravity determine the strongest and most logical shape for withstanding forces.
The Gaudi-stool was part of the furnistructure project.
In the Furnistructures project was researched how lightweight products can be designed.This has lead to a research into structural systems, as found in nature and architecture, and the possibilities of designing lightweight furniture using such systems.
