I realized that the only part of my furniture that is not angular is the chair base as it is round. The reason for sticking to the 5 wheels round base is for stability as 5 wheels spread the weight evenly.
However, I was thinking, what if we still keep the 5 wheels configuration but change the base shape to something angular. So i thought of the pentagon, which has 5 sides that would fit the base nicely.
The flat side of the pentagon is facing front so it also serves as a leg rest for the user while the tip of the pentagon sits nicely at the back where it joins with the pole.
Perhaps this would make the whole aesthetic gel better without compromising on the stability/function.
Round base for comparison
Should I head in this direction?
