Just thought I’d post some pages of my sketchbook with a bit of commentary to give a glimpse of what I’m up to in studio.
(Under the) Table was one of my first ideas, interesting because it encourages the subversive use of the dining room table as an architectural aedicula. I didn’t really want to design an “adult’s” table, though, so it’s the first idea to go by the wayside.
The first sketch for a Parent and Child or Child and Child rocking chair. The new idea is to have nesting Matroyoshka like chairs of mini sizes.
Here’s the dowel that would go along with the Peg Chair. It’s developing steadily – now I’m thinking that it will be a hook at the gripping end. If it’s a hook, then two can link together, plus you could hang things on it, plus it still serves the function of a handle for the peg and for the furniture.
Collage of sketches for this furniture piece. The idea is to have a few parts that add up to make many different furnitures – a chair, a table, a desk, a set of steps, a booster seat, a bin, a fort, a set of shelves. The next development (after the pegboard and doweling development) is to have multiple sizes, just like with the Duck chair. Esther suggested more shapes, so I’ll be thinking about that too.
I’ll take pictures of my little models tonight – the pics of the first thing I made out of wood and the mobile aren’t going to happen since they’re now both dried up.
Oh, and if you would, please tell me what you think of the Snap preview. Is it helpful? Annoying? I can turn it off…
