Making the Prototype

As the frame would now be made of steel also, the weight became an issue.
So I had to search for thinner rods of steel, to decrease the weight.
I found 12mm steel rods, of various shapes which I will heat & bend, to soften the appearance & add visual interest.
Using thinner rods also helps in terms of the frame, as the Steel "branches" could be made thinner, giving the stool an over all lighter appearance.

                                                                Flat rod, twisted.
