Designed: April 2002 Materials: Melamine fused to particle-board, Cam-lock connectors, optional tracks, bulletin boards, or handles. Challenge: To design critique and improve on existing office furniture systems. Solution: Desks today serve a functional role primarily, with the design falling second. While a major issue in present desk designs involved the repetition of rectangular planes, an obvious solution would be to go more organic with curved surfaces and supports. This may aid in design, but winds up costing more for the manufacturing process. In short, I decided to not go against the rectangularity, but to use it. I simply cut out squares from the planes to add a decorative element. Various component pieces were drawn up using this design strategy as a template. Consumers would have the option of picking and choosing the component pieces to form the overall collections they wanted. A clean and clear brochure outlining this process was designed as well. The exercise began to focus less and less on the specific assembly instructions of each piece, and more and more on the overall look of the collections, with attention to depicting the system graphically using strong realistic looking renderings and a visually inviting brochure.
