We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Rachelle Dagñalan about their original and creative Stools design work. Rachelle Dagñalan is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original stools works.
Rachelle Dagñalan ("RD") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Musketeers Stools. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
RD : I usually get design inspirations from nature, everyday objects and forms that catch my eye, then I turn them into something useful. The inspiration for Musketeers came from an unusual wireframe streetlight.
RD : Combine function with art, bold yet simple.
RD : Musketeers is soon to be prototyped, and will be available for purchase soon.
RD : I would take note of an idea the moment it gets to my head. Sketch it or do it in 3d, visualize it. Then turn it to its tangible form.
RD : Inspirations move us. I just got inspired then got the urge to make it.
RD : I plan to get it manufactured and be available to the market soon.
RD : The name Musketeers, came from the classics, "The Three Musketeers." The stools have three legs, and are available in three colors, red, black, and white.
RD : Seldom do we see stools with cushioned top, body in sturdy metal, and balances in three legs. The Musketeers has all three.
RD : One challenge is how to keep the stool sturdy with only three legs. The material selection and technical aspects of it play an important role.
RD : To be recognized internationally would be a great honor. Plus, you'll get to know how your designs will be appreciated from a global perspective. Getting a design award is a bonus and I am grateful for that!
