Furniture Development

During the course of this project, I came up with many ways to improve on the original concept. I should have let it simmer in my head for about 10 years to get it perfect, yet it's gratifying to have a functioning prototype.

I also extended the modular and adjustable concept to other items such as lamps, dishes, and housing, which will move into the prototype stage when you call and place an order.

Planning - August to November


Production - November to January


Product - January and February


Development


Joint Panels

A stronger, easier, and prettier way to connect the panels. I want to patent it - this is your notice that you are not to share the idea nor produce it. File in PDF format - made with Illustrator.


Hex Panels

I also considered shapes other than square for making the panels. This would make shelving and tables more complex, but would facilitate geodesic domes. PDF format; made with Illustrator.


Lamp

A lamp: clear plastic blocks which snap together like Legos. I have since seen something similar (but much bigger) taken into production: Light Cubes


Dishes

Modular dishes would allow you to use the same 200 pieces to make a bunch of small containers for a bake sale, several medium-sized ones for daily dining, or that one big-ass turkey dish for Thanksgiving.


Walls

Modular walls are already in use, in a way, in most office spaces. However, a wall module that goes from floor to cieling would allow employees to have real offices, make it simple to add another bedroom for a new baby, or could allow a residence to be opened up into one large space for a temporary event. Lighting, electricity, and HVAC are all embedded.
