Abraided is an exploration of the fraught tension that can occur when combining strength and fragility by using aircraft plywood for domestic object development. The finished product considers balance, repetition and irony. It is deigned for user assembly, and can be flat-packed into an 11x17 envelope for shipping and distribution.

Second Skin is a light weight collapsible wrist and palm support for laptops. It is made of 2 pieces of 0.4mm thick birch aircraft plywood, attached together at one side and on the other side, tabs are laser cut on the top piece and slots on the bottom piece. Tabs are inserted into the slots by slightly bending the top piece, putting it in tension. This creates a curved and stiff surface that supports the user's wrist when it is positioned close to the front of the laptop.

this project: bent intention evoked us to take a 2-D form and by putting stress on it creating a 3-dimensional form. The result is an elegant wine bottle holder that is self-supporting. The special feature of this piece is that the aircraft plywood is achieving a two way bend on one single and simple cutout, which is pushing the boundaries of the material.

Created for the Bent Intensions project in winter 2008 this project was later accepted into the Holiday Intensions Collection where it showcased and sold at the Wood Co-op on Granville Island.
This delicate wood figure was inspired by the popular character, the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker Ballet. It flat packs in a #10 size envelope, easily assembles with a fold and twist and hangs daintily on a Christmas Tree as a holiday ornament.
