Quick Assembly Footstool
In this project, my main focus was intuitive assembly. I needed to implement a linear construction pattern that would wouldn’t necessarily need an instruction document for someone to figure out how to use it. With easy construction, I couldn’t let it come at the cost of strength and durability.
I made an interlocking system that includes 6 vertical slices of cardboard that interlock with one another, and are reinforced on both the top and bottom to prevent shifting and bending in any other direction. Everything comes apart vertically so the intentionality and careful thought of the assembly process shows the user that this is an accessible and moveable object.
