Powder Coated Steel
For this project I explored different ways of enclosing three dimensional volumes with linear steel elements to create sculpted, ergonomic contract surfaces while also allowing the material to flex and yield to the contour of the user's body.
Steel and Nylon
The inspiration behind the form came about through experimentation with the upholstery process. While trying to find a way to keep tightly drawn webbing from distorting its frame, the idea of a tubular frame seemed to offer an elegant solution. This form not only equalized its own pressure, but eventually was able to form the entirety of the contact surface, eliminating the need for any additional upholstery.
This project was a challenge to see how much visual interest could be drawn out of a single black line.
Slip-Cast Ceramics
The form for these butter dishes came about by imagining a world where people aren't content to simply slice their pats of butter off the end of the stick.
