Small Furnishing
"Repitition / Nail Clippers"
images
description
This formation of nail clippers was a study in repetition of common domestic goods. Using only tension, each clipper fits to the ones adjacent to it, creating a full revolution. On end, the form appears dynamic and sculptural, like a Ferris wheel. On its face, the artifact becomes the perfect vessel for a candle holder or narrow vase. Either way, this form becomes a welcome centerpiece for one’s living room or kitchen table.
"Tactical Tranquility" Incense Burner
images
description
Crafted from a rich cherry, this wooden incense burner combines practical usability with a fun visual aesthetic. The user inserts a stick of incense, which when lit, becomes the tank’s smoking turret. Once the stick has finished burning, the ash can be easily discarded by removing the magnetic center tray. There is even a small compartment in the rear for additional artillery. Drawing on the opposing nature of war and peace, the “Tactical Tranquility” incense burner sits as an artifact of irony.
"Cuckoo" Shelf Display
images
description
This wall-mounted clock display is a modern take on the Bavarian cuckoo clocks of antiquity. Designed entirely with digital imaging software, each component of the display was automatically routed using a CNC machine. This mechanical precision allowed each part to fit perfectly with tension. The face of the display contains a circular hole, in which a German-designed Braun clock sits. If the face is removed from its hooks, the user is rewarded with three small shelves to hold personal items, such as watches or keys.
