Artsy Object Design

 This week our group divided up tasks and started designing the furniture. I am in the designing shelves and tables subgroup. We decided to go with my base shelve model (the upside down T) with the maze panel variation created by Daniela and a chair/bench that will be a combination of Nadia's and Erica's designs. We have decided to incorporate the maze design into the sides and backs of the chairs to make the piece more cohesive. We will be finalizing the design tomorrow and starting to prototype some samples of the design and joinery. The size of this is 8' tall by 10'ish wide at the longest and tallest points.  Here are some of the designs that I came up with to share with the group.  And a little bit of visual math to see how much wood we would be using for the shelves and tables.  The shelves and designs could be adjusted in grasshopper. 

 For this project we were put into a group of nine people to make a full scale furniture piece. So far we’re just in the beginning stages.  we’re still coming up with an idea but we’ve narrowed down the direction we want to go in. Since we are getting free materials from the school we’re going to make something for the school, like some kind of seating/work space that can be put in a common area. I’m hoping that we can utilize the CNC machine to do some fancy engraving or some detailed screens. But I’ll see what else the group comes up with before getting to far ahead. We’re also gonna be splitting into smaller groups for the different sections of the project so that we can work more smoothly.  Posting from my phone so I’ll add pics later.  edit - with pictures  I had also made some charts that the team used to help organize thoughts and tasks.  Here are some of the designs I came up with for our first group meeting.  And here is the design I came up with after meeting with the group.
