Function Exploration


Every surface has a 2 degree draft and a avg. wall thickness of .125” allowing for Kübstol to be easily Roto Molded and removed from the mold after the cooling process.

The COZY CIRCLE feature is perfect for those who want to relax and stay connected with others. Interlocking with French Cleats to create a perfect circle allowing for a table, fire pit, and much more to be surrounded and enjoyed by all.

The COZY CIRCLE feature is perfect for those who want to circle around a table, or fire pit. Allowing for easier communication and better eye contact.

The STACKING feature allows for an easy clean up and storage solution. While providing endless opportunities for creative structures and layouts, fill a field or backyard with the stackable pillars and make for an exciting paintball, water balloon, or NERF battle.

REFLECTIONS -
I learned a lot from this process, including new software such as KeyShot and the Sketchbook app. I also had the opportunity to learn about rotational molding and how I needed to adapt my work to better align with its requirements and manufacturing standards.
​
I was able to test multiple ways of sliding and locking the chairs together and ultimately chose French cleats because of their low cost and ease of application. I would like to revisit this project with stronger CAD skills and a better understanding of manufacturing molds and requirements to find an innovative way to incorporate the locking system into the main body. I believe this would create a more cohesive design and be safer by eliminating exposed metal.
