01 — The challenge
Bringing design
and technique together.
The challenge in this project was to reconcile construction technique with a bold design full of unusual lines and angles. Every change of angle called for its own solution at the workbench, so the piece could keep the lightness of the original drawing without giving up structure.
The brief
A piece designed exclusively for a porch.
