The thesis aims to transform the Frosta stool into a versatile and functional piece of furniture for CasaOz, enhancing comfort and usability with 3D-printed components.
At the heart of the project is the Erre joint, made of PLA, which allows for easy attachment of accessories like armrests and backrests. The Erre joint is simple to install, enabling customization of the stool for various needs, such as study sessions or workshops organized by CasaOz.
Additionally, by vertically connecting three stools with Erre joints, a multifunctional structure with integrated storage can be created, making it ideal for limited spaces.
Casa Oz represents everyday life for those who have temporarily lost it. Based on this principle, Product Design students have designed objects, furniture, and accessories to enrich and evoke this sense of normalcy.
Stools, sound-absorbing panels, games, and elements that foster conviviality: in their thesis projects, the students focused on two key areas distinctive to the association: spaces dedicated to food preparation and consumption, and outdoor areas that promote enjoyment and contact with nature.
