VK: The Main Focus Was to Decide How to Make It Workable From Concept Idea

VK: It Is Not Made Yet. So I Am Waiting for Sponsor to Make It as I Am a Student Now and I Do Not Have Much Money.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
VK: The Concept Just Took a Day or So. But Presentation Took Really Long Like Close to Two Weeks
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?

FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
VK: I Intent to Produce My Work Myself First and Then I Am Planning to Sell or Lease the Production Right. I Also Do Not Mind to Lease the Production Rights if It Is a Really Good Company
FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
VK: I Was Playing With a Syringe and This Thought Just Strike My Mind.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
VK: No One Actually Other Than the Motivation From My Parents When I Was Designing.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
VK: It Could Be Used in Home, Office and Other Places as Well. So the Main Target Would Be Residence Client and Office
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
VK: The Concept Is Completely Different Which No One Could Have Never Even Dream of.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
VK: Floating Stool as It Looks Like It Is Floating and Not Touching the Ground. Simple as That.
FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
VK: Max for Modelling and Rendering.
FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?

FS: What is the role of technology in this particular design?
VK: Its a Simple Design. There Is No Technology Required.

VK: The Research Was About Quantity of Air Compression Happening to the Amount of Load Over It.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
VK: The Proportion (Height and Width) of the Stool According to the Compression of Air Happening. I Mean if the Stool Is Too Short, Then the Seating Will Hit the Floor When the Compression Happens. Also I Have to Make Sure That the Stool Achieves the Standards for Seating Height Before and After Compression.
