Using the idea of the cross joint, I explored various forms on Solidworks. All forms utilized a triangular sheet metal "bracket" that sits on the top of the stool holding the two main pieces together, strengthening them while also acting as the seat.
Simplified form using triangulation on the seat "brackets" as well as on the frame at the various stress points.
Reduced taper of frame as seat from previous forms proved to be too small. Also developed form of frame to be more aesthetically pleasing.
