internal – bedside tables

As a background to my practice i have decided to post images and description of my previous works to give viewers a better understanding of where i have come from in terms of design and construction.

This piece was created for a working surface brief which was to incorporate a working drawer. I decided to make a matching set of bedside tables and took influences (as with many of my designs) from architecture and elements of the built environment we inhabit.

This piece is a meshing of japanese archecture and The Farnsworth house by famous architect Miers Van Der Rohe. Hence the internal concept of displaying objects and having the internal elements become an integral part of the external, as the Farnsworth house does. The japanese components come through in the feel and the construction processes and joinery.

starting up again

Well as the semester kicks of again for the final time in the degree we have been given a theme which will act as a constraint or a guidence for the independent work proposal. This theme is based on “Engage” so with this in mind i have decided to put the music direction on hold for the moment and will explore that topic at a later date.

I aproach this semesters work in the workshop with the commercial viability of the product in mind and am going to explore the aspects of multifunction furniture. Furniture catering for the small living areas, apartments etc. Steming from my interior design background i will look intimately at the relationship between people and the built environment we inhabit.
