A modern twist on the sewing table...

elisa's chaise-table

This is a chaise-table, combining a seating surface and a tabletop to make a complete furniture piece that is both comfortable and functional for its user.

INVANITY

Vanity for the power-suit woman...mirrored and floral concealed by a typical desk stature. Legs for hiding the secretive.

'Awk-Nouveau' Side Table

Using Hector Guimard's Side Table (e.1904-7) as a point of departure, this project used CAD to explore continuous and curvilinear forms.

Angela Wehrle's Kangaroo Chair

This chair was inspired by Kem Weber's "Airline Chair." The essential elements borrowed from that chair were the cantilevered wooden frame, the suspended upholstered seat, and the "thick and thin" proportions of the frame. The feet of this chair were inspired by the feet and tails of kangaroos.

Thanks

Hey Chris,
I think I speak for everyone when I say thanks for a great semester. Your dedication to the class always surprises me, your teaching skills and personality really made the semester seamless, interesting, clear and overall just a fun way to cover the material. You're a terrific instructor.

Have a great summer.

Continuous Surfacing

from DesignBoom - Brodie Neil's (RISD alumni?) new collection, debuting at ICFF. The sinuous, seamless forms of his “Jet” desk would be a very challenging modeling task in CAD - not only making all parts flow into one curvature continuous body, but also the branching of one part into another. If you don’t believe me, ask Pete Oyler, whose current experimentation with neo-art nouveaux prompted this posting.

After having spent a semester immersed in CAD modeling technology, what do you think of this kind of work?
