Kiss and Bones
Academic | MIT, instructor Christopher Dewart, 2021
This is an exploration of my interests in furniture making, experimenting with both traditional woodworking skills and digital fabrication. The workflow pays a constant visit among sketches, 3D modelling, handcrafting, CNC flip milling, etc. I was particularly interested in the relationship between geometric perfection and material properties. The first project, “Kiss”, tests and pushes the limit of hardwood (cherry) in order to realise a perfect tangency with the thinnest possible transition without material failure. The second project, “Bones” challenges the notion of delicacy while optimising the geometry with consideration of load distribution.
