This Stool Story project is by Weil, an Industrial Design student at ECAL. Weil sought to repurpose cast-off material as functional furniture.The material used in this project is discarded carpet from the school's workshoppreviously utilized in furniture exhibitions. This led Weil to ask: could we transform exhibition carpets into furniture after the event? While searching for an answer, Weil drew inspiration from his everyday interactions with materials. He noticed that the motion of rolling and unrolling fabric caused its edges to naturally create a transformation between sectional surfaces and curves. A 3D surface could be interpreted as a path, and he applied this insight to the rolled carpet. In 3D software, he tested an optimized surface that closely conformed to the shape of the human buttocks. He then mapped this surface onto a simulated cylindrical roll of fabric and used the Unroll command to generate a 20-meter-long path.Next, he used a large-scale cutting machine to precisely cut the collected discarded carpet along this patha process that took about 20 minutes. This uniquely cut carpet, once rolled up and secured with two metal knobs, became a soft yet structurally supportive stool. By repurposing discarded materials, this project not only reintegrates waste into daily life but also uncovers a unique method for constructing complex 3D surfaces.
