Prototyping!

At last! A prototype of my product design! It required a cardboard box (bigger than myself I might add), cable ties and lots of effort!

Here's a bit of my prototyping process...

It started off with a big cardboard box that I could fit into, I'm not kidding...

I had a template printed that I could stick onto the cardboard box in order for me to know along which lines I must fold. My faithful assistant, Winston, is in the background.

I then stuck the template onto the cardboard box and folded along the lines and it ended up looking something like this :) 

This is only a cardboard prototype of the product (stool/beanbag) and Kirsten and her team at Tommy's Upholsterers are currently in the process of manufacturing the product. I'm very much excited to see the end-product! :)
