Danish Furniture

FLAT PACK 

This circular cabinet is created  with the principles of “democratic design” as well as something that could be flat packed similar to IKEA. I chose to design a storage cabinet that could be assembled without any screws, using sustainable, quality materials, and honest joinery. My goal was to design a piece of furniture that could be easily transported and disassembled/reassembled intuitivly, without the need for screws or long instructional guides. This design is inspired by the nautical shaped windows in Denmark, as well as the rounded Bellavista architectural style by Arne Jacobsen. Often modular and flat pack furniture is rectilinear, but I wanted experiment with  playful circular forms. My hope is that this cabinet can become an enjoyable experience to build, and gives the flexibility to adapt to user’s temporary needs. 

STRAWBERRY LAMP

The “Strawberry Lamp” is inspired by danish lighting design. Hoping to create a feeling of Hygge, as well as incorporate playful references to Nature. I focused on function and sustainability. The lamp is enclosed with a linen fabric facade creating a soft diffusion of light. The frame is a mixture of 3D printed pipe inserts and aluminum pipes bent to shape. Because of the nature of the frame and linen fabric facade pattern the lamp can ultimatly be flat packed and reassembled by users. The linen facade includes a full side zipper, while pipes can be re-inserted into the 3D printed forms.
