This concept came after drawing inspiration from the idea of using the whole piece of cardboard rather than cutting off the excess parts.
So taking the hexagon shape and making the sides the legs, I kept the spaces in between the legs rather than cut them out.
I began with paper to test out my idea and quite liked the shape and feel of it but accidentally made it an octagon instead!
I then made a cardboard version at a 1:5 scale but found it quite difficult to bend the funny angles between each of the legs. Also, because I had kept the excess material between the legs, I realised I was unable to pull all the legs as close to the centre as I would've liked because there was not enough space. This made me realise how difficult and complicated it would be to construct using xanita board so I decided against this idea.
