folded surface cladding

here are a few images of a cladding system composed of a folded cellular arrangement.

folded surfaces

here are a few images testing folded surface generation.

paper exhibits zero gaussian curvature at all points on its surface, and only folds naturally along lines of zero curvature. but the curvature along the surface of a non-folded crease in the paper, as is easily done with wet paper or a fingernail, is no longer subject to this constraint. -Wikipedia

the perianth bench

a variation on the same design theme from the previous post, the perianth bench seeks its inspiration from nature namely flower petals. looking to continue this series i will be posting more "perianth" designs in the coming weeks.

the perianth stool

this is a concept for a stool i'm developing, using bio-design inspirations, in this case the petals of a flower that become both the structural and the seating elements. all the petals of a flower are called a corolla, a perianth is when the petals vary in size and/or color. the perianth stool is composed of two unique elements that are then mirrored along the longitudinal axis making the corolla bilaterally symmetrical.

banco

again starting from a primitive geometry, the cube, i'm using old-school 'push-and-pull' modeling methods to deform the cube to generate an appealing object. the flower blossom is a low stool that can be placed anywhere and clustered together to create social seating areas.

chaise lounge

here are some conceptual images for a lounge chair i'm working on made of molded fiberglass.

Reception desk

i'm currently designing a reception desk to be made of fiberglass in 2 colors with a corian counter top.

triangulated chair

a few renderings of the first prototype.

triangulated chair

starting from a lofted surface, a pattern of ellipses was applied. the centroids of each new surface were connected creating a triangulated frame. the centroids of each triangle where then projected onto the 0,0,0 plane and connected back to the triangulated frame creating a truss-like base.
