Upcycled Climbing Rope Stool

The Kozi Stool - UTS Speculative Startup, 2024

This project involved designing a sustainable stool using recycled materials, focusing on CNC machining, furniture design, and scalable production. The subject deepened my understanding of aligning design priorities with business constraints and balancing aesthetics with production realities. The project’s showcase at UTS Open Day validated our approach, drawing industry interest and highlighting the importance of integrating operational, financial, and sustainability factors into design.
