Sans Serif Chronicles

In this intermediate digital design studio, students explored and created a 3-dimensional structure from a 2-dimensional fields of letters from the Sans Serif font family. A heirarchy of spaces was created and a stair was inserted to connect these spaces within the object. Students then spliced the object through the creation of a ‘drawdel’: a hybrid drawing-model creation.

The resulting drawdel attempts to highlight the verticallity of spaces and the circulation between them within the object. This is acheived through the use of an axonometric section projection mixed with 3-D printed printed model pieces that coincide with the section cut.

Den Røde Stole

As part of a furniture design studio during my time studying abroad in Copenhagen, I crafted a chair out of a wood veener base. Using bandsaws, sanders, and hand planers in a woodshop, students in the studio carved in to the base chairs and attached them to metal bases to realize their designs.

My chair’s final design utilizes a simple yet effective response to the prompt--to create a more comfortable and intriguing design out of the basic shell. This was done by crafting a softer and more pleasing form with a central split that introduces added flexibility for the user.
