Interactive Wall and Chair Set

Interactive Wall and Chair Set

Wall and chair pieces were designed as one total art piece, with the idea of blending organic lines of beautiful bamboo plywood contrasted with the more conservative world of Arduino programming. Wall and chair pieces were designed in Rhino, cut via a CNC router and assembled. Chair has interactive lights built-in, controlled by Arduino boards and software.

Close-Up of Potential Abstract Environment

Close-Up of Potential Abstract Environment

One of many designs explored while brainstorming possible full-scale environments for the physical thesis project completed in spring of 2017. White pieces are laser-cut Plexiglas.

Potential Abstract Environments

Potential Abstract Environments

Different versions of ideas explored prior to finalizing final thesis idea. All of the below are laser-cut Plexiglas scale models with bamboo plywood bases. Various levels of enclosure versus exposure were explored. Dimensions of environments were partially based on human scale to both challenge and understand how proportions might affect how individuals utilize space.
