submission for Come Sit a Spell by Kara WolfeThis semester Stoel's product design studio began by spending a week working on submissions for a contest for the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Charlotte. The contest required us to design a chair or bench for the gardens, which if accepted we would then have to build and install next March. To get us to start thinking about the project, Stoel had us bring in or sketch three things that we were inspired by. There was a wide variety of objects, from things found in nature to musical instruments to what some would consider trash. Just goes to show you that inspiration can be found anywhere.
