Selected Works 2008-2018
Bike Trailer
This trailer is a mobile public space that unpacks to offer a place to sit, gather, and be engaged. Included are picnic benches and tables that can be assembled on site, then taken apart and loaded onto the trailer with ease. The trailer unfolds and becomes a double sided display board for mounting posters and information.
The birch plywood components for the trailer were fabricated using a CNC (computer numerically controlled) mill, which allows for extreme precision and strong connections. Special mortise and tenon and finger joint details were designed to enhance the strength of the trailer.
This trailer can be utilized for a variety of applications: as a public engagement tool, a mobile market booth to sell merchandise, or for a picnic.
Nestle Benches
Benches are typically flat, and we wanted to rethink the bench to be more ergonomic and playful. The curves on the bench not only make an interesting sculptural form, but they hug the body and make it very comfortable to sit in. the bench legs are designed to collapse, making it easy to transport.
To achieve the complex curvilinear form, the bench was modelled digitally. Baltic birch components were then fabricated on the CNC (computer numerically controlled) mill to achieve very precise, complex shapes. These components were then assembled and finished by hand.
