Nine by Nine is a furniture system designed specifically for sub-100sq/ft furnished rental apartments. It consists of a desk, two wardrobe units with two removable stand-alone drawers each, and a multi-purpose sidetable. Everything is made to be as visually open and light as possible, while still being durable enough to withstand multiple tenancies.

The system is flat-packable, inexpensive to produce, and uses locally sourced fir.

A collaborative project between ECU Industrial Design and UBC CAWP (Center for Advanced Wood Production) where students were asked to design a set of outdoor furniture to be featured during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Far Coast (Coca Cola’s brand of coffee) asked the six teams of students to create a lounge chair, a community table and a side table to promote a socially engaging atmosphere. Each piece had to be  RTA (ready to assemble), constructed from blue pine wood and reflect the Far Coast brand.

The vertical book-matched spalted maple planks are combined with mirror image geometric simple fir veneered boxes. Inside are two drawers and two shelves in one and one shelf in the other.

Once placed flat against a wall the angle of the legs prevents the boxes from tipping forward or sliding outward from the bottom.

My ego was inflated when Gord Peteran, five months after he saw them, said that he was still not sure about them.
