One, Two, Three, Four legged Stools - an exploration in craftmanship

Abstract
The purpose of this project is to explore craftsman-
ship, trying to find out how the use of it can become
an integrated part of my design process. The initial
part of the project is dedicated to research on the top-
ic of what craftsmanship is. The research is conducted
through literature review, study visits and market
research.
The project has an exploratory phase whereby I make
experiments that attempts to make sense of the
findings from the research. The exploratory part uses
a hand on iterative approach. The insights gained in
the two first parts are then used in the design part of
the project. I decide to focus on the craftsmanship related to the material wood and apply it to one of the
oldest artefacts that... (More)

The project has an exploratory phase whereby I make
experiments that attempts to make sense of the
findings from the research. The exploratory part uses
a hand on iterative approach. The insights gained in
the two first parts are then used in the design part of
the project. I decide to focus on the craftsmanship related to the material wood and apply it to one of the
oldest artefacts that humans have created, and still
do new versions of, the Stool. In the process I built 13
stools before deciding on the final designs. Each stool
is an exploration and refinement of how to integrate
the knowledge about the craftsmanship into the
design process. The main insight I gained by working on this project was that the subjective nature of
craftmanship implies that the integration of it, into
the design process, will be personal, and something
that needs to be explored by each individual.
The final result is a collection of one, two, three and
four legged stools all made of solid Oregon Pine. (Less)
