Exploring materials

3D sketching with different materials, while focusing on modular forms and keeping the raw material exposed. Felt is quite fun to play with, edge stable and quite stiff.The orange peel is more of a blue sky idea, but I want to work on its structure and work in the felt.

Semi Cylinders with cover and more plasticine


Use some imagination and picture this model chair sized. The corrugated cardboard is a canvas with ribs of foam and the semi cylinders are a semi uppholstered hollow form with wood ends. Rearange to create a "nest," a chair, lounger, sleeping mat, table...



I have been finding plasticine great to quickly come up with a bunch of ideas without have to get caught up in how to make the forms. Maybe not the most practical furniture in some cases but hopefully the ideas will lead to something.

The ultimate modular furniture...sort of...



This is a couch I found on the website for the ugliest couch contest. http://www.norwoodmall.com/ugly/ This particular couch is made from mouse pads.



Some sketches exploring simple shapes, more conventional furniture, and modular pieces.
