During my time studying abroad in Copenhagen this summer, I spent 7 weeks learning about Scandinavian design, visiting design studios all over Denmark and Sweden from large cities to small villages and rural areas and even toured the IKEA headquarters. Learning about furniture at its birthplace and point of inception was invaluable to me. It opened my mind completely to new design possibilities.
Navigating the discourse between designers, manufacturers, and clients that I one day will have to work with & approximating the shell before shaping it and building out the real dimensions.
Learning about wood lamination & visualizing how I could apply curvilinear design to a rectilinear chair structure!
This was one of the most difficult pieces to build out that I have ever designed - it was completely architectural and I learned an incredible amount from the experience and from working with Scandinavian furniture designers and woodworkers to create it.
