KISS AND BONES

Furniture Design, at MIT, 2021

Experimenting with both traditional woodworking skills and digital fabrication, I was particularly interested in pushing for timber’s geometric potentials allowed by its material property. The first project, “Kiss” is a stool that tests a perfect tangency with the thinnest possible transition without material failure. The second project, “Bones”, is a mischievous attempt for a delicate chair with material efficiency (with optimized geometry considering load distribution).
