3D Object Design

 Week 4 Our team went into the woodshop to get more pieces of the bench and shelf cut out with the CNC machine where we managed to cut the pieces of the bench as well as 1/3 of the shelves for the shelf design completed. Liro, Yuxin and I worked together in order to get all the bench pieces sanded whereas Chloe, Nadia and Daniela worked on properly printing everything through the CNC machine. Chloe, Nadia and Daniela had to slightly tweak the flat design for the CNC machine by creating a 1mm offset so that all the interlocking pieces could actually fit together, and they were able to successfully fix that during that work period! Here are some images I took while we were working:

 Week 2 Our team has decided to split off into different subgroups for each individual part we have been assigned to work on, and I have been assigned to the design team for the chair component. Our team decided to split off into our own ways and create a design that we feel will work with the overall basic design the desk team had. And so I have created two different designs for the group to go over for our chair designs and rendered them so others in the team can see the type of style I was planning on going for. Option 1: Wood + Acrylic Storage Bench/Chair The main concept behind this one is a more modern furniture take on something similar to a toy box, I got some inspiration from Daniela's designs she shared last week with the bright beautiful colours so I created a design for the chair to add more of a flair to a more modern chair design. The top of the acrylic the person is sitting on should be able to open from a latch connected to the back piece so the student using it can

Week 1  a.) What did your team accomplish Our group chose a general idea of a concept they wanted to do which was an indoor furniture piece made for the school, which is multifunctional and made as a working space for the students. b.) What did you, personally, contribute? What was your role? I suggested 3 concepts for the group project. The first one I suggested was a wood panel chandelier, I looked into Frank Lloyd Wright, pieces that fit into each other, unique shadows and something that is more like an art piece. The second one is a light fixture with a mix of both wood and acrylic. The third one is a steampunk style interactive table that incorporates moving parts Then the group decided to come together and choose a basic direction they wanted to go for and do more roughs that would match that concept. I chose to focus specifically on the multifunctional use of a furniture piece and looked into some problems I usually have with stuff at AuArts. And my biggest pet peeve was ho

 Scale Model I used the laser cutter in order to make my scale model of the rocking chair. I used the birch plywood that was offered in the Thing Tank, cut out my pieces and then put them all together. Overall the scaled size ended up being 15.5 cm because I scaled down my object 10x. I also changed my design just for the scale model in order to put it together more easily due to the small size. (Ex: Back grid) Here are some images of my scale model

 Rocking Chair The title for this object is Fusion Rocking Chair. Based on the name you can assume that this rocking chair is a fusion of two different styles. My main inspiration for this piece is Filipino-style rocking chairs, specifically one that my grandfather owned. Then I chose to combine the technique of weaving into a Glasgow style chair similar to the ones designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Here are some sample images to show the basic concept I chose to work with: My intention for this project was just to make the most obscure piece of furniture I could think of and add my own spin to it through my knowledge of art movements and personal experiences. I felt like overall the concept is pretty unique as it is meant to be a furniture piece that can also pass off as an art piece. The long back mixed with the weaving style from the Filipino rocking chairs makes a somehow harmonious concept. This piece is meant for really anyone who has an interest in avant-garde pieces but I
