Coat Hanger
Anodised aluminium
400 x 30 x 225mm
Although usually made to be covered and modest, coat hangers are strange, beautiful objects. I wanted these to be bold and have a presence in the space when uncovered, or not.
PCB Tray
PCB boards, tin-solder and single core copper wire
70 x 90 x 44mm
Although made from standard PCB boards, capacitors and soldering wire, this tray is not a functioning circuit but is instead a functional object. Kindred has built its community around electronic music, so I tried to build my object from it too by looking at electrical components as physical building blocks rather than electrical ones.
A Seat at the Table: Chair 18
Plywood is engineered to be a consistently stable and predictable material, yet is made using veneers of wood, which by nature shrink, warp and crack in response to their environment. By removing the outermost veneers, the true beauty of the wood is revealed. This stool aims to link this industrial material with its environmental origins bringing texture and spontaneity back to an otherwise sanitised material.
