My first iterations using tissue paper explored its crease-ability, fragility, and density when it is rolled.
When it came to translating to a larger scale, I went to good will to pick up some old or outdated books. Though most books aren't necessarily headed for the trash bin, many (i.e. textbooks) become useless or obsolete over time, and need a new job.
There are three structural elements in a hardcover book: the cover, the binding, and the pages. I chose to use the pages to create a little reading stool. My next attempts will include the cover and/or binding in an attempt to decrease the mass of the object and possibly create a collapse system.
bindings..
shorter books in the middle decrease mass
a little reading stool made out of reading material!
