sitting on the floor

(its just about building a big stool)

..well, not exactly on the floor. but like sitting on the floor.

a while back i thought about making a desk-thing, that would make it feel like i was sitting on the floor, and that would maybe also be okay to use without that ugly floor protector that i need for my current chair.

so after a while i made a first sketch of it - basically a box to sit on, that would maybe fit 2 euroboxes for storage. after sleeping on the idea for a while, i made a completely different sketch, without the storage, because i thought it would be better if it was light, to easily move it around, and i came up with this:

a screenshot from tinkercad. its basically a square with legs. :P

(on tinkercad)

so, this would be an easy build - off to the hardware store, getting all the parts.

a big woodpanel and some smaller things, and big cork sheets on a cargo bike.

and later that afternoon i had my new desk-thing to sit on! afterwards, i added cork on top and felt under the legs, so i wont scratch my floor, and i threw out my ugly floor protector and the chair.

the built frame for the stool. the seating area is still missing, its lies below. everything on a big grey sheet of fabric. next to it a drill, screw clamps, saaaaaawdust. in the background you can see the sofa from the other blogpost.

everything screwed together!

cork is getting glued on the seating surface. the matts are on the stool, so that the whole area is covered. some old it-books spread on top.

everything finished! its the stool, with the cork glued on and a yoga yoga pillow on top
