Wikiseat - post interview

For our wikiseat project we had to talk with and gain insight from the person we are building the chair for. For mine, I am making the seat more for a wider group, I had difficulty thinking of who to talk to then I thought of who visits the most, and my neighbour came to mind. In my interview I asked him things like what it should look like, and how big it should be. I got very generic answers like, "I don't care" or stuff like that but I got enough out of him to get a decent design, I want to make it fit with anyone who visits my home. I learned what my friend would like with his seat, and how he kinda wants it to look, I will take that into account along with the size, colour and a few other things. this interview helped me to gain insight about how it should look like and how functional it will be. The design of it will be kinda similar to a normal stool only I may add a few other things, like a back rest maybe some cloth and foam to make it more comfortable, with the colours I will go with a darker colour like black or a dark blue. But before I get to that I need to obtain some materials, I was hoping to get some materials from the schools shop class, or to even have my dad get some for me, for me the only real obstacle in this project would have to be building the stool using the catalyst, but it will have to be something that I will have to overcome if I am to finish this project. As for the materials I will use normal wood to build most of the seat, I will try to avoid using metal with this because that will mean more work for myself and might take too long for me to complete. Painting is pretty straight forward, I will use a normal spray paint and for any details I will use a small paint brush and add the details by hand.

What I hope the stool will kinda look like before painting. (legs will be different)
