Problem: Traditional methods are being overlooked in favour of modern mass production systems.

Brief: “Investigate lamination”. Explore the laminating process, discover the potential shapes and structures which are achievable.

Outcome: A complex structure with consideration to method of manufacture. The assembly is inset with subtly tinted glass located on machined brass corner mounts. The concentric arrangement of uniform shapes results in delight of kaleidoscopic views.

Construction: Four right angle formers were fabricated. Six interlocking layers of Maple veneer create each corner piece, four of which are then arranged and bonded to create the support structure.

Brief: Create a self contained pod or den with a sensory interior where primary aged school children can feel safe and go for some time out. It should have sensory elements and upholstered seating within for quiet time. It should also look appealing from the outside.

Solution: A modular honeycomb system. Self-contained, moveable and free standing, the design fulfils the brief whilst the honeycomb structure provides a connection to nature offering several educational segways. The shape and colour offer a visually simulating object to engage the children’s curiosity. The modular pods are designed with safety and durability in mind, components are easily interchanged or updated, providing the client a long term solution which offers endless combinations of sensory possibilities.
