Furniture Design | SCI_Arc Boardroom Table | Emergent Architecture

This Design is composed as two seperate parts- a highly articulated Table and a simple sliding glass wall defining the new space in the Kappe Library.

The Table, while functionally rectangular, is characterized by a radial patterning which is intended to spatially interconnect people sitting around it. This pattern exhibits both an open-ended cellularity and an emerging linear heirarchy, which delaminates downwards to become the ‘legs’ of the Table, and upwards to become relief for organizing books, water bottles, and flowers. The internal cavity defined by the table structure will be lit with red LEDs for atmospheric effect, in particular for evening meetings, dinners, and cocktail parties.

A power strip and cable tray will be located in the linear members of the pattern on both long sides of the Table. The construction of the Table will involve unfolding the 3-D geometry, CNC routing the parts in 1/8” aluminum sheet, spot-welding the parts together, finishing and auto painting.

The glass wall is intended to allow spatial continuity between the Kappe Library and the new Boardroom. It is hung on a 3-track system allowing 4’x10’ framed units to slide. These units will be made of a thin steel frame and tempered glass, and will be silkscreened with the individual names of members of the SCI_Arc Board of Directors, as well as Supporters of SCI_Arc, Distinguished Alumni, etc. These names will add to the simple, elegant atmosphere of the space and reflect the future of SCI_Arc as a stable, endowed institution.

To be Continued Coffee Table | Julien Carretero

To be continued came as an improvement of the Chapter one project.

It deals with creating a real and recognizable uniqueness within serial production. Instead of leaving randomness manage the differences, it uses the repetitive actions existing within the production process as a tool for differentiation.

Then each piece produced comes as a result of a process applied on the piece that came before. Each piece is then existing because of the others and couldn’t have been designed without the others.

Each layer is casted on top of the one casted before following the exact outline of it. Because of the imperfection of the cast, the object slowly mutates and start designing itself.

Material : polyurethane composite.

The Obsessive Furniture Line by Johnny Swing

In loose change, you see a couch. In pieces of show leather, a chair. In jars, a chandelier. These are all visions turned into reality by Johnny Swing. and his Obsessive Furniture line. Taking common, everyday materials and re-purposing them, Johnny Swing has created practical art that is as stunning to view as it is stimulating to use.

His nickel couch, made of over 6400 welded nickels, is a magnificient piece of work that is contoured for the body. His Jardelier, a chandelier made of glass jars, evokes a feeling of early 20th century invention with its illumination. These are but two example of an exceptional furniture line. The difference is in the art. Each is a unique example of beautiful and functional sculpture.
