III

The Pedestal





––


III captures moments of architectural elements through its structure and composition. With bold lines and distinct forms, it presents a presence that both calming and assertive.  III dynamically interacts with light and shadow, evolving throughout the day that unveils new perspectives and depths within its structure, creating an continually shifting visual experience.

The Brief / The Initial Idea 

Working within the 80 x 80 centimeter constraint, I set out to design a sculptural yet functional bench. Initially conceived as an artist's bench, it later evolved into a bench with a resting table.
















The Pivot

The 80 x 80 constraint felt too limiting for the proportions I envisioned for the bench, so I pivoted to designing a stool while maintaining the same design language.

















Technical Drawing

After settling on this concept, I drafted a full scale scale technical drawing, detailing the number of dominos and their spacing required for internal stability.


















From Tree To III

Crafted from solid ash wood, the process involved planing, bandsawing, biscuit joining, gluing, and finishing. After completing the main piece, I used the extra materials to create a smaller piece that complements the taller form.
