Assessment Brief:
The Ulmer Hocker stool. A post Bauhaus design
The Ulm School of design was one of the offsprings of the famous Bauhaus school in Weimar, Germany.
When the Ulm School of Design was first furnished in 1954, the stool "Ulmer Hocker" not only served as a transportable seating furniture, but also as a side table, a portable tray for books and tools, and even as a shelf element, or, placed on a table, as a speaker's desk.
The artist Max Bill, the product designer Hans Gugelot, and the carpenter Paul Hildinger together developed this piece of furniture that impresses by its strict minimalism and purely functional aesthetics. The "Ulmer Hocker" stands for the school's design philosophy of clear, simple design that is suited for mass production.
You will be asked to thoroughly research this design classic and develop the skills to make your personal interpretation of this multifunctional stool
Emphasised here will be the development of your craft skills.
