Elefent - Seat Surface Storage - Originally designed by architect and furniture designer, Tom Shiner, this project calls for a
multi-functional solution integrating a seat, a surface, and storage (full-scale unit). The unit
design must be novel, stable, efficient, and comfortable. The unit may be used indoors or outdoors. Attention should be given to size and weight
of the unit, possible combinations or manipulations of multiple units used together, and
possible nesting or stacking of units to conserve space.

Outtakes - After the sections were roughly cut out I stacked them up on the floor. I positioned myself on the floor to make it look like I was "sitting" and had a few classmates take these photo's while standing on top of a table. The concrete floor ended up looking like a sky in black and white, and makes it look like I'm falling.

Elefent in it's natural habitat - This is my seat/surface/storage project that I designed in the second semester of my 2nd year at Virginia Tech.
