This is an intensive studio in which students explore personal and aesthetic issues through independently driven assignments, critiques, and visual and written materials, in the pursuit of creating a body of work or larger work. Students must demonstrate a conceptual, technical, and ergonomic understanding of furniture design. Work produced can explore any aspect of furniture design, including but not limited to one of a kind objects, design for production, material experimentation, and the making of objects that are cross-disciplinary.
A basic understanding for working with three-dimensional materials is expected for students enrolling in this course.
