The undisturbed planar surface of the table top provides a starting point for intervention with the Caldera Table. Typically of a constant depth, the extruded top literally offers little room for play. By introducing a grouping of volumetric aberrations which deform not only the top surface, but also bloat the ‘interior’ space, Caldera exposes a […]

Asterism: Recognizable figure within a larger constellation - i.e. Big Dipper is comprised of the seven brightest stars in Ursa Major. Building on the ideas of (re)STOCK (highly customized 3D connections paired with already highly efficient stock sections), the Asterism projects serve as working prototypes for adapting any number of geometries into architectural, structural or […]

Often times simplicity at the surface belies a complexity or rigor not immediately apparent - the Oblique Tenon Stool is one such instance of deceiving appearances. At a glance, there is nothing special regarding this unassuming piece. Upon closer investigation, the construction of the stool begins to reveal the carefully resolved connections which enable it’s […]

stalasso: Greek, meaning “to drip” and “that which drips” (stalactite) Stalasso Table explores fluidity, continuity and deformation of surface through multiple digital processes. The conceptual ‘drips’ within the larger surface become the interface between multiple materials - the wood table top (CNC milled) and the ceramic ‘tray’ (3D printed and glazed). A single ‘definition’ accommodates […]

As an expanding and evolving company, TEA Collection (the well-known children’s wear brand) was at full capacity within its existing space. After acquiring an adjacent loft space, a strategy was needed to connect between the spaces and organize flow between departments/programs. With a modest budget for the renovation, selective demolition was used to maximize physical […]

VICE Table This project was done in collaboration with Mark Hash at the Yale School of Architecture in Aluminum Design and Fabrication and represents an interest in the testing of architectural ideas and tecniques at the furniture scale. Fit, tolerance, and material properties were carefully considered and embedded in the computer model. Understanding the overlap […]
