This design is based on a Lamella Barrel Truss. It can be made out of four different woods, Apple, White Birch, Eucalyptus (shown), and Purpleheart. The frame connects together with a glued finger joint at the corners. The truss ribs connect with a glued lap join and has a glue coated pin wedge in the middle of each. The ends of the truss ribs connect to the frame with a modified finger joint. Each of the legs connect to the truss via cut outs that hold the intersection joint , and a cap with cut outs that slides over the legs and is welded in place. The legs are made up of either polished or brushed stainless steel. The outside diamiter of the frame is five feet, and the ribs are spaced one foot from center of lap joint to center on lap join. The frame width is 8”-4” for the couch, 3’-4” for the chair and foot stool, and 5’-4” for the coffee table. Each frame is covered with a tension fabric stretched out to cover the curve. The coffee table has a pike of 1/2” thick glass on top of it.

This oversized vase holds removable test tubes which can hold and display single stem flowers. It can be made of a variety of materials, including resin such as the 3-form Chroma shown at right. The resin connects with a vertical threaded rod and secures with caps. A number of vases can be created in varying heights and with differing numbers of joined cylindrical columns to create a dramatic effect in a room.

The wall mounted flower vase is CNC milled, bent then painted.
The acrylic dome for holding the stems and water is vacuum formed from a turned mold.

This curvlinear media storage unit can be used alone or in multiples to create interesting storage solutions for many different objects. It is free standing, but can be mounted to the wall with simple frame hanging hardware. It is CNC milled from plywood, then assembled with dowel and small round wooden spacers.

This dish rack is designed to be displayed on the wall instead of hidden when it is not in use. When folded flat, the dish rack reveals a texture or pattern. The choice of color and pattern can be customized by the consumer. This design is meant to be created out of acrylic using a laser cutter. The wavelike pattern allows for nesting in production which reduces waste.

Does your little black dress always fall off the hanger and into the dirty laundry bin? Do you forget that you own those scarves that are crumpled in the back of your dresser drawer? These whimsical hangers can’t promise to solve all of your life hang ups, but they quickly diffuse garment troubles. They hook on a peg Shaker-style and nest on cut sheets to maximize the material; they can be made of wood but are most festive when cut out of translucent 3/4” 3-form eco-resin or a similar material. Colors can be chosen to coordinate with your threads or to organize your apparel by category, and, if you wish, the hangers can be created with a hook on top to go into your closet. Of course, if these hangers do the trick for my fashion staples but not for yours, we can design some that work for the stubborn items in YOUR wardrobe.

Many things were thought about in the design process of this object, function, form, style, what a home is?
The visual style of this object gets negated when it serves its most functional purpose. The object becomes most visible when, perhaps there is know one around to notice.

The simple lines display curves that are recognizable and at the same time completely abstract. Its possible that modern style is a cacophony of technology and creativity being merged in a way that can come out both muddy and confusing as per a style. Muddy Coat Rack tries to illustrate that!

There are set dimensions where joints of the racks structure come together. Other than those points the rack can be completely and constantly redesigned. If you had enough silhouettes or patterns it would lessen the chance of any two people having the same design. The rack itself is held together by exact tolerances and a series of set screws which are milled and tapped into the plastic which would easily hold a coarse machine Alan head set screw. No Glue!. Polyethylene can be laser-cut, water-jet or CNC milled. Being made from polyethylene affords being able to choose high recycled material content. As well as, no finish no stain paint, or sealant.

This product could last forever or turn into something else, literally!

Polyethylene 1/4, 1/2, 5/8 D 76inx35inx35in

CoatStack was developed to utilize CNC lathing and reclaimed materials. Sections are machined from simple lathe patterns using locally available new materials or readily available scrap (including construction lumber, plastics, and metals). To optimize the material usage, multiple sections lengths are available.
The hanging brackets are laser cut sheet metal and can be positioned at various heights, angles and degrees. The brackets allow garments to be hung directly or on a hanger.
Other modules including a pocket item tray (shown) or decorative lathed sections can be formed and added. Customization is based on available material, additional modules, and hanger configurations.
