NEUTRA
[minimal design | quality materials]
The Neutra Table was designed originally to add storage to a small New York apartment. The piece disassembles and packs flat with ease; each fastener a highlighted detail, exposing everything to the owner about it’s assembly. One sheet of Baltic Birch Plywood, Brass Bolts and Stainless Steel Threads with Sapele Mahogany details.
An Opera Hall
[Aggrandized Processions]
In collaboration with Kelsey Hollington [Spring 2017 UNCC]
The experience of going to the opera is much more than the show itself. For centuries the event has been meant as an evening to be seen by all, discuss the show and celebrate. The intent here was to put as much importance into the spaces that facilitate these experiences as the opera hall itself, but with that comes more contemporary concerns. It was not only enough to expand the opera hall, but today such a grand structure can serve a city all year long. With this in mind, the design fragments its three parts, the "front of house, opera hall, and back of house", so that they may be accentuated and reconnected.
KALEIDOS
[Fabrication in PRogress]
In collaboration with Dustin White & Design Morphine
This contemporary Chandelier [5’ x 3.8’ x 5’] was designed for Jump Into The Light, a company in NYC that is home to an array of VR/AR based experiences. This interactive installation implements an digital process developed in-house to create clean, 3D printable joints for complex structures. These Nodes are printed in Onyx, a proprietary reinforced plastic from Markforged, with additional fiberglass reinforcement where necessary. Our friends at Design Morphine are creating custom interactive LED lights that will push color off the reflective, chromatic panels on the interior. Dustin White’s personal process for creating intricate plastic netting via laser-cutting and hand forming will act as a diffuser around the main body of the chandelier.
