Idea to production
During the summer of 2022 I enrolled in the Summer eXpression program organized by the incubator eXpression. The program gives young creatives the chance to take their design from idea to production with mentoring from experienced designers.
With Bockviken I wanted to design a piece of furniture that through its construction and material lets the user define its use. A piece that can follow you through life and adapt itself from home to home with the possibility to live as long as the wall it is hanging on.
Material: anodized aluminium and massive oak
BOCK - bocka - bending metal
VIKEN - vik - small bay
Without hinges, the transition becomes a more tactile experience.
Process
Testing different material finishes.
Quality check
Blasting and anodizing
