04.PARAMETRIC FURNITURE/STRUCTURE SCALE MODEL
VISUAL DOCUMENTATION
a.) Materials
mountain section: wood
wave section: plastic
b.) Scale
c.) Varying perspectives
TITLE AND BACKGROUND STATEMENT
a.) What is the title of this project/object?
Seescape
Because the seat is a depiction of the sea and people will be sitting on it to see the sea (😂)
b.) Background information
1.) What inspired this design? Nature? Creative works by other artists/designers?
This piece is inspired by nature: ocean and mountains. This is an abstract depiction of the sea and
mountain. The mountain texture is inspired by parametric design.
2.) What sets this object apart from typical furniture or sculptural work?
The contrast between the smoothness of the waves and the structure of the mountain
3.) If a function object (i.e. furniture) what is the function?
This is a chair
4.) What is the intended location / Who is the intended audience for this object?
Outside in nature, example
IV.) Animation
A problem that I ran into:
The preview of the blue seat in grasshopper and the jpeg that I got using the capture screen command is different from the render look in rhino. The render in rhino is much darker than the other two. I had a hard time trying to match them.
This is very cool! I would love to sit on this bench.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteA beautiful seat to enjoy a beautiful view. I really enjoy the concept. And the bench height varies around the edge for different sized people. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI love the combination of the see-through bench and the wood centre. It reminds me of a cityscape surrounded by water.
ReplyDeleteWow! thank you :) That is a really nice way to interpret this design!
DeleteThe animation of both the seat and the back are so beautiful, and the idea of making the seat itself as a see-through material instead of making the entire piece out of wood was a really smart choice because it further added onto the concept that you were going for!
ReplyDeleteThank you 😊
DeleteLove this title and design so much! The contrast between the mountain and sea curves is a very strong visual relationship there is a super interesting repetition of form going on there. I would love to see the seat casted in resin so it could be transparent but multicoloured with different blues and greens like the ocean. Beautiful piece!
ReplyDeleteWow! It is such a nice idea to cast it in resin! Thank you Jessica :)
DeleteLooks really cool. love the mountains and sea design. Since this would sit outside you might want to consider how its gonna drain water from the seats because it looks like some of the waves would definitely make their own "seas" and people don't like to sit in puddles so it might not get used as much. Otherwise cool design.
ReplyDeleteLmao! You are absolutely right! I should consider making the waves lower on the outside, or maybe drill some little hole on the waves that are lower? Definitely something I should consider~ Thank you!
DeleteYes, Chloe makes great point! And Yuxin, your idea to include holes is a good fix as well. If you ever wish to revise this model, I would consider incorporating the holes into your definition. You could perhaps make a decorative pattern for the holes so that it looks like an intentional and aesthetic part of your design. I'm very interesting in seeing your scale model, especially with the undulating wave :)
DeleteBy the way, your animation of the clear section is awesome -- it moves like a wave!
I absolutely LOVE this, 360 seating is very ergonomic and the design is beautiful. I would love to see this in a public area :D
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
DeleteYuxin, I love your design. I have never seen such a unique design before, you have made a very interesting funiture! 👌
ReplyDeletethank you Jemi :)
DeleteThis is a very attractive design, I think it's very suitable for places like library.
ReplyDeletegood idea! a nice way to bring the outdoors inside!
DeleteReally cool design!! Beautiful furniture and I think this piece represents the combination between water and mountain, it reminds me a beautiful scenery in real life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Yayi! You are so sweet :)
DeleteThat second gif of the wave has me absolutely entranced with this piece! I have nothing to say except that I cant wait to see how it turns out!
