Photo credit: Mara Sylvester The task was to figure out a design by the basis on the technique of bending and a material that was cardboard/papper. Our design implements the concept of one-piece/self-supporting structure that could spread light creating an atmosphere for diverse kind of spaces. We tested several kinds of material and cut more [...]
The Concept here was to take advantage of the linearity of the board but at the same time break the verticality using horizontal lines. Thus the curves were aligned in vertical direction while the depths were defined using the horizontal contours. In order to maintain the uniformity in the panel, single Ball mill of diameter [...]
The experiment aimed at understanding the behaviour of material with bending technique and what limitations we have due to its thickness. Hence with a 3mm thick transparent metacrylate, we created a lamp which explored in variations of curves. The variations were brought by changing the distance of hole and length of strips, thus proportionately varying [...]
Our main purpose is to test the bending capacity of the material according to different forms. The starting point was the plain form of a spring and its multiple profiles. This allowed us to test the different possible geometries and come to conclusion on which of them have more capacities on extending, bending and supporting [...]
We designed a unit, in which we can use the flexibility and the tension of the material due to the direction of wood’s fibers. We tested different ways of assembling it. After experimenting with different size of units and different joining methods (interlock, slots), we started to weave them. Using stripes, we weaved the units [...]
