Show your designs!

Thanks Scott! If you want a height adjustable, it’s really hard to beat the Airtouch mechanism, once you load it with all your stuff you can dial in the resistance setting of the mechanism and it raises and lowers fluidly and with very little effort. I had no part in designing the mechanism, so I feel no shame in bragging about it.

here’s a quick video I found on “the youtube”

I found your blog by the way, very cool. I really liked your take on the Eero Aarnio Best in Show deal!

This was a thesis project, a multisurface desk for kids in kinder class.

this was a project in collaboration with porsche design in our 3rd semester.
the aim was to create something for the porsche customers, but it would be going to be build by a place called “lebenshilfe”, which is a charity organisation where the work is mainly to provide handicapped people with something to do. So this would serve two purposes, giving those people something to do and raise money for them.

my aim was to create a fold away game table for cards or other games which can still be in a living room after the game is done and be a pleasant add to it also. i tried to combine technic and design in a way that both complement each other and keep everything as easy to build as possible to make it producible for the special workshop.

greetings

this is lovely! perfect for those moments when an extra seat is needed and you dont have room for one permanently :slight_smile:

Hi all some great designs here.

This is a little something I’ve been working on lately
Materials are HD foam and plywood. Deceptively strong but probably not suited to people with pets
Tell me your thoughts. Sink or swim?

Max


I’m not sure how much mass appeal it would have but I’m loving the use of the HD Foam!

theha: Really diggin’ the angular asymmetrical feet forms you have going. How much weight can the foam take without deforming? Hold a TV and all the components fine?

Really diggin’ the angular asymmetrical feet forms you have going.

My thoughts as well, and very accurately cut … hot wire? Is there a hard “leg” embedded inside the foam to support it? Also actually like the unfinished edge of the plywood. Really fresh concept. Looks inviting too, have you done a test to see if it will bear the load of an unexpected “sit” .

but probably not suited to people with pets

Between dey Manx claws and dey furry Manx coats it would last about a week in our house… . of course there isn’t much upholstered furniture that does.

weight wise, yes it supports a tv easily but does require a piece of glass top for plasma/LCD. I made the unit for my own use and I have my TV wall mounted but I am currently working on a second protype.
I can sit on the unit, the foam compresses slightly but it wont damage anything.

All the foam was cut with CNC and a table lighting knife as this is a sponge foam not polystyrene, this gives very sharp finish.
I like the use of unfinised plywood although originally I wanted to only use foam but i found it a bit much on the eye.
Also there is no added structural support the plywood keeps it riggid and the foam is firm enough to take weight

My partner wants a dog so I am savering what I have for now

Thanks for looking
Peace out Max

Nice design. I think it would be interesting to explore in different materials, too. Black acrylic, rather than plywood, with the foam would look good, too. The shiny lines would add a nice contrast to the matte appearance of the foam. Still very nice.

Here are some stools that I make. Made of bent solid steel bar bases powder coated and Tasmania Oak tops finished in a satin coat.
Heavily influenced by the industrial stools I used to find at garage sales I just love the minimal material usage.


very nice, I love the chamfer on the bottom of the seat.

Thanks Yo.

A chair model I made for a class project junior year.

I designed this laptop table a couple of years ago, if only I could afford to make the mould!

So lately I have been working on this piece for my home.
She is a monster of a sideboard 2700mm long.
It’s a design I have been sitting on for a while and only summed up the courage to make it fairly recently.
All hand made of Tasmanian Oak with American Walnut details. I’m really happy with the result!
I’ve just completed a smaller 1800mm version for someone as well.

Thanks again
Max


Thats a nice piece! Normally Im not a fan of oak, but that looks very nice. What is the finish on it? oil/wax? I really like the fit/finish of the foot as well. I imagine working with that large of a top sheet added some challenges. Did you consider miter-folds rather than butt joints?

@theha that is a beauty!

Thanks guys

The finish is a satin poly.
The sizing did make it difficult but it ment I had to get a hand when putting it together.
Mitre joints were considered but I’m not entirely sure why I chose butt joints I think because I made the top slightly thicker
Than the sides

Thanks again
Max

Max … drool … that’s gorgeous … drool … could you grace us with some more … drool … detail shots?

Loving the floor as well. Painted concrete? Cork?
