           In this project, we need to collaborate with design studio semester 5 to design a reception counter where located inside of our boutique hotel. My boutique hotel will be e-Bikes hotel where my aim will be to create a one stop centre to give the service and environment for the cyclist around the world. 

           Besides that, we need to create the model with the scale of 1.10 and place on MDF base with all the detail part to touch up so that it can be pull and push like normal drawer.

MINIATURE MODEL

Isamu Noguchi Rocking Stool


The Rocking Stools are fun to sit on, combining playful and ergonomic aspects. Their cambered bases allow the stools to rock gently in all directions - protected by a contoured edge and a plastic support.

During his entire lifetime, Noguchi alternated between East and West. After returning from Japan in 1954, he presented the design for a Rocking Stool to US furniture manufacturer Hans Knoll. Its form evokes the hourglass shape of African stools. Although Noguchi originally wanted to make the stool out of polyurethane, a new plastic, he ultimately decided on a combination of more traditional materials: wood for the seat and foot, and chrome-plated steel rods for the central support.






Materials: Natural maple or maple stained walnut colour, chromed steel wire.
