These are the final displays that I sent in for the International Design Award 2011. They were due on January 31st and I sent them in on January 28th.




Thank goodness it is finished!

Polished Podium Shots with Figures

These renderings are meant to highlight the furniture system, the figures help the viewer see the scale of these seating arrangements and the other components of the room (flooring, walls, & windows) just bring a sense of light, shadow, and material being portrayed.

Podium Process II

The podium renderings I did in order to visualize the furniture system in a space rather than on a platform or on it's own. Process entails color change, creation of connecting end table, and possible combination of the base, end table, & seat.

Sketch-Up & Podium Process

At this point the chair style itself has taken on a change in appearance while the overall concept of sliding modular seats and cantilever base are constant.

Modular Seating By Molo Design

For this submission I chose to do furniture design within the living room functioning genre. Thinking about future design and what concepts and functions this will encompass I chose to stick close to the idea of move-able yet functional pieces that can be changed to meet the needs of the person using them. Not all consumers are the same so why should all furniture be made the same, furniture should be able to adapt to user needs depending on space it occupies and the amount of people using it.

So in this submission my goal is to create a seating environment that is multi-functional for all situation that may arise in a residential or commercial atmosphere. Seating that can be connected or separate and can be used with existing furnishings that the owner may have as well. This design must also be functional while aesthetically pleasing, a couch is not a couch if one cannot sit on it.
