PROJECT OVERVIEW

Design, develop, and manufacture a children's stool that incorporates three metal pipe bends and two welds. The stool should be functional, safe, and visually appealing for children aged 3 to 8 years old. It will provide a reliable seating option for various activities such as reading, drawing, and playing. The project will involve careful consideration of safety, durability, aesthetics, ergonomics, and the seamless integration of metal pipe bends and welds into the design.

OBJECTIVES

Safety 

Ensure the stool is stable, with no sharp edges or small parts that could pose a risk to children. Safety is the utmost priority in this project.

Durability

Use materials that can withstand regular use and are easy to clean. The stool should be able to endure the wear and tear of daily activities.

Aesthetics

Create a visually appealing design that will attract children and complement various home interiors. The stool should be colorful and engaging, encouraging children to use it.

Ergonomics

Design the stool to support proper posture and comfort for children within the specified age range. The stool should encourage healthy sitting habits.

Integration of Metal Pipe Bends + Welds

Seamlessly incorporate the required metal pipe bends and welds into the design for structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The metal components should enhance the stool's design both functionally and visually.
