Yield Stool
Here is a finished Yield Stool.
This one is cut from the test print of Timo's panel. There us a black rubber extrusion that protects the base, and the two black lines in the spine are two pieces of pine. As the tool we bought to cut the 72 degree angle for the spine didn't work, the stool now comprises of two 18 degree pine wedges to attain the angle. These are stained black, and give a visual link to the black extrusion on the base. The stools are amazingly light and surprisingly strong with some yield within the structure. Using the Xanita board as a fabrication material for furniture has been quite challenging, but I think I have produced a stool, perfect for a short rest within the exhibition that also escapes the 'cut & slot' aesthetic synonymous with this material. Gerbrand van Melle's fractured graphics really make the piece and each set of four stools will exude a different graphic quality.
