the ai stool is the first to be designed using a combination of 3d tools and artificial intelligence. produced by laser sintering the chair consists of intelligent soft and hard structures. ai stool is an intelligent product that grows in free space with an artificial intelligence ‘dna’ code. this code ensures that the object materializes perfectly from a virtual design into a 3d object with optimum strength and softness, while maintaining the desired design.

the challenge was to design a form with the minimum volume required for a seat and then instruct the ai software to calculate the required support. the ai stool top layer designed to be soft and cushiony. how can softness be simulated in the virtual environment? one of the great successes of this project was to generate and analyze virtual softness. the final ai stool met all of the mechanical requirements while only using 1/3 of the anticipated material. this projects importance is not only in the actual results, but also in the research and development of new intelligent materials, design aesthetics and production methods.
