A NOTE
The following designs are concepts and prototypes that showcase my ability to communicate PHYSICAL DESIGN ideas. They are not products. All were fabricated by myself, with limited materials and tooling at my disposal.
Side Table — Prototype
This table explores the strength of steel. Made from only a thin 16 gauge cold-rolled steel, its organic curves and supports can support up to 90 lbs. It juxtaposes organic and sharp lines, and holds space below for storage.
All sizes and circular curves used are proportioned to one another.

Below are prototypes I fabricated in raw cold-rolled steel, and do not reflect intended finishings.
"Continuous Structures" — A Family of 5
This collection's identity is stemmed from Bruno Munari's concept of continuous structures, in which only 1 or 2 elements exist, and it is up to the end user to re-arrange these elements to their liking.
These objects are vessels, and can hold anything from fruit and keys to magazines or phones. Their intended use it up to the end user. Made from 2mm think steel, they are sturdy, and hold up to 25lbs.

Each structure is made up of a combination of curves A & B.
Combinations are endless, but the following five
were chosen for their proportions and individual character.

Both A & B curves are made from the same size sheet of material.
This not only streamlines manufacturing, it also creates coherency between the pieces.

Prototype Fabrication
All pieces shown on this page are prototypes that I fabricated myself.
I am not a master craftsman, but I know my way around a wood and metal shop.
