Final Proposal for Xanita

This is my design proposal for the event "DESIGN MADE TRADE"

Mock up of locking system and final template

Refinement of Xanita 1:1 detail

Testing with Xanita board

I've made a small detail of my stool in Xanita board this week, and here are my results

Mock up refinement

This week I have make some changes to my existing stool
design. Here are the working progression and my testing
to the changes.

Turns out, my design now is much more stronger! :)

Mock up

This week I've tested my idea in a 1:1 scale.


First I've made it in a 1:5 scale, and testing it
using my weight, and it feels rigid and strong,
therefore i believe the 1:1 model will be strong
enough too.



After making the 1:1 model, and getting to sit
on it, i can feel that the top is a little weak,
perhaps its because the top is too big for the
bottom, or its the angle of the folds, but I'll try
adjusting the size of the top to see what happen next.

Task 3: Refined concepts

For this week, I have refined the 2 concepts from before, trying to work out a better way to hold the chair together. I really like how concept 3 has now became, however i still need to work out what exact angle it needs to be in order to design for the best quality.

Concept 3 still uses the folding idea but it is now in 1 piece instead of 2 which will fit in the Xanita X board.
