52 Designs: Z Step Stool

Continuing on the same theme – here’s a quick sketch of a small step stool made from 4 chunks of wood.  The initial idea was to make it as simple as possible: a base, a support and two steps.

At the bottom you can see a curved piece to ease the transition from the base to the support.  I’m playing with the idea of easing each of the transitions – really “rounding over” the whole thing to make it very fluid.

The support is 45 degrees to the steps.  The size is maybe 12″ high x 12″ wide x 6″ deep steps (12″ deep total).  A nice cube.
