A Winner of the Tangen Hall Furniture Competition

Challenge: Design furniture for Tangen hall lobby that can be CNC cut and easily assembled

Edit: Here are some photos of my parents and me visiting the constructed chairs.

Process

Concept: A set of chairs that spell out Penn and have different functions. Two are for lounging and two are collaborative spaces with a table. Students sitting intertwined with the word Penn is the perfect image of the creative and hard working spirit found in the IPD program. This provides a powerful first impression for anybody entering the building.

All of the winning groups met with Paul Downs to discuss the changes that would need to be made in order to manufacture our furniture. Click the link below to a view a summary of all the changes made or download all of the final project files (Bill of Materials, Renders, CADS, and Vector Files).

I would like to thank Evan Caracciolo for his awesome work on the Poster and his invaluable feedback throughout the entire process.
