Mock-ups

I change the seat from rectangle to trapezium shape with the long edge and smaller to the back side

Also add a stick between 2 front legs to help it not stretching and change the sharp point to flat 

Stacking

BUT, the changing makes the shape goes too far from the original idea that giving a visual triangle from any side of the stool.

Then, to go back to the original idea. a little bit change again

Keep the sharp point (or make it a very short flat) and move the point a bit further out

Ergonomic Checking and Solutions

This is my very first mock up. After the consulting with the tutor, we found out that people will be fallen over easily because of the point at the back side. So, we have some solution for that 

1. Chop some materials off, so the stool can be lighter and avoid the weak point

2. Make the sharp point a bit flat. More balance

3. Make the angle a bit more
