3D Sketching

First experiments with repetitive modules using cardboard and plasticine. Picture big upholstered blocks.





The plan with most of these was to play with the idea of either a single form that can be aranged in numerous 'furniture settings' or a set of pieces that can for a whole piece of furniture or be broken up to make a few.

Meeting the Co-designer

Our co-designer for the project, Nicole, was kind enough to show her place and share a few details about her space and furniture. She is an Emily Carr Design student and will be assisting us in our market research and prototyping.

Below are a few shots of her studio apartment located in downtown Vancouver. The floor space is approximately 470 square feet.

Living in a Bachelor apartment in downtown, she has to compromise on living in a tight space, but does enjoy a decent view from the 17th floor. Her interest in modular furniture and adapted salvaged objects makes her place an active and functional live and work studio.

Image Boards

Here is the synopsis of out last session. I don't know if the class was constructive or not. But I think we are set for concept development. I am attaching the image boards here and the quick brainstorm session we had with the words.

Concept1:
Concept 2:
Listed below are the themes we discussed yesterday:

• Sitting: comfortable, rest, conversation
• Functionality: storage, modular, adaptable
• Space: open, inviting, light
• Work: focused, organized, collaboration
• Play: rolling, intuitive, space
• Storage: system, modular, accessible

If you guys have anything to add, please feel free to post .

For next meeting please bring three examples/prototypes which is not furniture, meaning no chairs, loungers or love seats.
