The Project
The goal of the project was to create modern furniture for a certain group of consumers that addresses a potential issue with the furniture they may be using.
Design Development
King is unique in its market since it caters exclusively to guitarists. This requires specialised information from musicians and the furniture they use, and several research and design analysis techniques were used to collect this information. Later, this research data was transformed into important aspects, which made it possible to build the stool.
