Kiss | Bones

Furniture, at MIT, 2021

Experimenting with both traditional woodworking skills and digital fabrication, I was particularly interested in exploring 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 chair, with its geometry shaped according to load distribution, that is almost too delicate to be a chair. But what is a chair anyway?
