Wood Veneer Arch Wrapped In Leather
It is a simple stool that provides an active resting position.
The stool must rely on the use of it or rest on another structure in order for it to stand.
This creates a sensitive relationship that brings awareness to the space and human presence.
The stool is a thin wood veneer arch rapped in leather.

Forest Lawn Chair
A chair conceived through both reductional and additive processes. The goal was to reinterpret the common mono-block lawn chair. The 'Forest' Lawn Chair presents to us a situational object that unlike a classic lawn chair, its purpose is to stay grounded in one spot.
Created out of a coloured plaster mold the trapezoid base will degrade over time due to extreme weather changes that will occur during Chicago's Fall and Winter months. The chair will be revisited in order to observe the degradation process that will happen through Spring's advent.
Will the weather create a better chair to sit in, will it allow the chair to be used different ways? The temporality of the base and the fact that it is the base itself that keeps the chair grounded makes for an interesting juxtaposition.

Sorry, But....
This has to be the most unimaginative design, or lack there of, ever to contain my morning roast.
That being said...I'm kind of enamored with it.
In a brilliantly dismal way, it's entirely to the point.
Just sayin'.

Work in Progress
Some beginning computer sketches from a cup and saucer project I’m working on. The idea is to really accentuate the process of using a tea strainer. From the first step, which is filling the tea strainer, the last step being disposing of the strainer. These were some ideas of different layouts. The circles represent the holes for the strainer, the squares being the place for a teacup.- Melissa C.

Dancing Skins
This project had to be a continuation of a past concept (which shaped the project before this.) Then we had to take that idea and amalgamate it with a newer idea (which was based off an image that we had to choose and formally analyze).
My project focused on creating an phenomenological (experiential) space which would interact with the environment around it as you moved through it. The top bar on the pages is a diagram showing how the double skin would create a very dramatic blurring as you moved through it (the picture in the background is a horse.) It's a simple double skin placed t a strange angle.
The space is program-less, and site-less. Taking this rare opportunity, I created a visual connection between the earth and the sky through use of an oculus, to create a meditative space.
Because the sky is always beautiful :p

Ps. Don't read too much into the text. on the pages. It was rushed through last minute typing before the presentation.
