Cantilever Stool >> 2016 Materials: Wood (Prototype) and Wood + Metal (2.0) This cantilever stool re-imagines the stool design by reducing the vertical support members to two. To make it possible the top of the stool projects backwards to appear as cantilever. This made the junctions more critical and the tie-member components also contributed to the structural diagram of the stool. This manifestation comes to reality in full wooden version by sculpting each wooden member by hand and making joineries with meticulous precision. Along with other three members in the group, the process involved many wood working tools and machines. After learning from the prototype the 2.0 version inculcated metal members in minimal but most critical aspect to increase the structural capability and stability of the stool.
01. Sorting the components as per the kit of parts
02. Making of an element (seat) by fixing the three planks
03. Sanding for finishing and polishing
06. Planar machine for making the contour for comfortable seating
04. Filing the joineries for precise fit and tolerances 05. The components before fixing with open joinery parts
Sarkari Chair >> 2016 Materials: Wood and Nylon rope Remaking a well known ‘sarkari’ chair, the remade version consisted of nylon weave for the seat and back rest for better durability and ease of making. The components were derived from the existing chair however the joineries were updated to eliminate the use of metal hardware such as screw and nails, to make it possible wooden dowels were used. All the components were sculpted by hand by group of four members and finished by sand paper to make the edges soft and filleted. The thickness of the components were successfully reduced by using a harder wood with compact grains for better durability and structural capability. The entire composition comes to place by tight-fit wooden joineries, glue and wooden dowels.
Deployable Deck Chair >> 2017 Materials: Plywood, Canvas fabric and Threaded rods Infusing the deployable scissor mechanism with a recliner chair resulted into a deployable deck chair. The chair allows for 4 sitting variable options and a flat pack option for ease of storage and mobility. The process initiated by making scale working models to derive the desired postures and their variations. The final variations and component sizes were finalized through working scale models and were translated into the prototype. For prototype, plywood (18mm) for the structural components, canvas fabric for the seat and threaded rods (10mm) for fixing of canvas fabric were selected. The choices of material were done in a way that it makes the process of making easier by hand as well as performs in tandem in terms of material properties along with giving minimal sophisticated aesthetics.

Es Shelf >> 2017 Materials: MDF and Bamboo reeds Designed by Konstantin Grcic and manufactured by Nils Holger Moormann, the Es shelf explored the visual instability by tilting the shelf at an angle but maintaining the center of gravity within shelf to avoid falling. To understand this concept, the scale model was made along with one group member. The scale model explored the similar details and section sizes to replicate same forces acting on the components and how the forces are nullified to achieve the stability.

Metal Sarkari Chair >> 2017 Materials: MS Pipes, rods and Cotton rope Remaking the metal sarkari chair, the remade version consisted of cotton rope for the seat and back rest to eliminate the use of metal perforated sheet. The chair was manifested along with other four group members, the stages of manufacturing were divided from metal pipes cutting, bending and welding along with making spacers for the allen key nut bolts. To reduce the coldness of metal, cotton rope and weave was selected to perform as back rest and the seat to give the softness and warmth to the user. 19mm metal pipes with 2mm gauge were successfully bended and welded as desired by replicating the existing chair. The finish was selected as matte orange powder coating and cotton rope as complementing colors for a vivid aesthetics and striking perception of the chair.

Display Stand >> 2019 Materials: MS plates and Wooden members The element which has been parametrically developed to add the dynamism to accentuate the aesthetical appeal of a display stand. The components were molded at an angle to achieve the dynamic quality and to make it possible metal plates were incorporated for their good tension capability and ease of working. To avoid welding and catering to assembly aspects, wooden intermediate members were placed to fix metal to metal plates through sliding nut bolt joints. The parametric rule for the configuration allows any lengths for element, with in-between rectangular planks which acts as display surfaces. The form was developed along with another group member after studying the ergonomics and aesthetical requirements of a display stand.
Balancing System >> 2019 Materials: Wood, Bamboo reeds and Metal cable The balancing sculpture by Dan Grayber, explores an independent system in response to only one external force (gravity) acting on it. The system is a meticulous crafted metal system which was replicated in wood to explore the capability of wood and ease of making. Each wooden component was hand crafted with extreme precision as the leave way of tolerances in this system was very low. All the junctions allows movements for the system to function which was made possible by nut bolt joints with metal washers. The weight acts as the nucleus of the system which makes the system perform and initiates the process of movements. The entire system comes to stand still when the value of friction acting on the sides achieves the equilibrium of the gravitational force acting through the suspended weight.

Facade System >> 2020 Materials: Ceramic tiles and Metal box section Summer heat being a crucial factor in the city of Delhi, this facade system acts as a light and heat diffuser while being an aesthetical element for the residential facade. The facade system comprises of ceramic tiles with a box section frame, the ceramic tiles composition is derived in a way which cuts the light as well as cast interesting shadows in the interior part of the house. By twisting each ceramic tile at an angle gradually, the subtle gradient is formed on the outside which ranges from light brown to dark deep brown because of the shadows. Three metal rings of 3mm were used to acts as spacer between each vertically stacked ceramic tile. The final configuration was glued in place with adhesive applied in the center pole of each tile to fix them at a desired angle. Design and executed under andblack design studio.

Residence .01 >> 2021 Materials: Wood, Plywood and Brass pipes Capsule swing as coined by two group members and me, the swing follows a singular shape through different forms and materials. The accentuated filleted edges of the wooden base and section sizes are accentuated to give the swing a larger appeal and striking visual. The polished brass and finished solid wood works in tandem and compliments each other in the aesthetics of the swing. The wooden components are used as the receiving components which will come in the contact of users to give the warmth and comfort of solid wood. The brass components are used for aesthetics as well as structure for back and hand rest. The entire swing has been suspended through metal stainless steel cables with customized brass joineries which are fixed on the base of the swing and the ceiling.
