A - Bloom
This Ash and Laminated plywood chair I designed and constructed through an iterative process blooming
from concept of previous studies. Key themes include movement, and reactive furniture. Visual Identity stems from flowers, which react to the environment. Personally constrained to use only wood to achieve bounce. This formed a whimsical seat featuring an A-frame, and angle-heavy bio-inspired design language.
