One 2x4 PinewoodNo other Wood

Can’t be StainedBut can be Sealed

Cannot equal to or be more than the weight of the 2x4

A stool designed using only one 2x4 made of pinewood and can withstand a minimum weight of 200 pounds using the least amount of material as possible

Explored thin nature shapes that can hold heavy objects

Using the moon as inspiration,

you rotate the front phase

around 360° from the Full

Moon phase to the New

Moon phase

A full rotation equals 2 & 1/2

hours of light

As the light slowly makes its

way back to the starting point

the Full Moon phase

Using a built-in timer and an

automatic off switch you can

fall asleep at ease without

the worry of turning off your

light

Rotate to your time of

choice, right before bed or

as you read...

As time passes abstract

moon phases appear as an

indication of time passing

Wander is designed to protect your laptop case the objective was to make it from paper pulp exploring the best materials, shapes that can be formed from paper pulp to

create the strongest rigid and make the case as functional as possible

I explored aesthetics, texture, performance of the bag and compression molding

I wanted to take the whole concept of paper pulp being an

eco-friendly material and transfer that design of earth into my case and so I took the

idea of topography landscapes

and used the ridges and curves to my advantage to better

symbolize the purpose of the case

Add mold release and place newspaper pulp and cotton mixtures to mold

Sew elastic fabric to edges

Add leather to bottom case and inner padding

for cushioning

48

Got my hands on as many different materials as possible, looking at

color, texture and smell

Decided on newspaper for lightness and color

Routing out the topography

Test dropped our pieces from the second floor with

a ceramic plate inside

Tested out curves and their strength using

newspaper and cotton for lightness

To transform a vintage coffee maker and redesign an updated version of it by taking three attributes from the original coffee maker

and convert those attributes into the new design for todays current trends in design

Glide is an intuitve fabric swatch display system designed for Ligne RosetThe objective was to eliminate their old swatch display which is difficult to see the fabrics and

the ease of use for the customers and the employees

In the meantime we needed to design a swatch display that could easily fit in with their store and style

This was an assigned group project

O b j e c t i v e


Can be wall-mounted or

free standing

Materials should correlate with Ligne Roset’s

design language

Fabric swatch hangers cannot

be altered or changed in anyway

2007 2011The Ploum couch’s

3 dimensional fabric and its minimal style

truly capture the elegance we desire

20132000The attribute we took

in mind is the slim metal base that is con-formed to the shape of

the Smala couch

Cemia’s rounded wood-veneered edgesare an inspiration for

our aesthetic

Nubo is a wall-mounted desk that has multiple

arrangements and pur-poses, it plays with

materials and lightness in manufacturing

Not all swatches are visible when on the rack

making the decision process

more difficult

Ligne Roset’s system for swatches doesn’t fall in

line with their values and style

The swatch rack isn’t counter intuitive

to customers and employees

Ligne Roset’s love for design is presented through their drive to

stay up-to-date with new technology and materials, eco-friendly manufacturing processes, and traditional

family values

Sleek curves create an elegant feel to many of

their products

Playful lines bring a youthful feel to every room and attracts consumers

Cyan is a tool for a physical therapist but it is a shoe for patients to wear during physical therapy. It’s aimed to help track walking and balance progress through the

shoe on a daily to weekly basis to better asist the patient and the physical therapist

76

I n s p i r a t i o nF i e l d R e s e a r c h

My main inspiration for this project was my sister, after an accident, she went through months of

physical therapy learning to walk again

I felt that shoes could better benefit the patients and of course the physical therapist

I went to TIRR Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas and I met with a few physical therapist and orthetists, I was able to observe patients during their therapy

77

C o n c e p t

Using a Force Sensor Resistor in the heel and toe area, a gradient light at the top of the shoe indicates the amount

of pressure put from the time they strike their heel to pushing off with their toe

Using light Indicator(Force sensor Resistoor)
