Our Design process
When our group was trying to figure out what or chair should look like and be constructed, we looked to google. We found many other cardboard chairs that had great ideas. These ideas were helped us to figure out the best way for us to construct a stable cardboard chair. We decided since a triangle is the most stable geometrical shape, that we should cross two cardboard pieces inside a cardboard box. After that we would use duct tape to tape all the corners to make the stool as stable as possible. |

The making of the Chair
We had to cut the diagonal sides of the box 18 inches down to securely place the cardboard piece into the box. |

We had a very simple design that you can observe through the sketches we have. We wrote down the measurements of the box that we needed in order to correctly make our design a reality.
