Nesting/ multifunction stool and table

Shown above are some quick sketches to demonstrate the multifunction aspect to this piece i have mentioned briefly earlier. In the both these sketches the concept is for the user to purchase three pairs which can be locked together in the following ways:

- The first sketch showing the three larger of the pairs locking together to become one larger coffee table while the three smaller stools remain seperate to be used in and around the newly formed coffee table. An ideal way to gather socially whether eating a meal or playing a board game.

- The Second sketch demonstrates a lounge type arrangement where the three same size pieces are joined length ways creating two seats with a table in between and a book shelf type rack is created under the table.

These next pics are a half scale model of the proposed pair of stool/tables. From making these models the process has influenced the design of the final pieces, hence demonstrating the great importance of model making in my design process.
