Concept Sketches – Chairs with cubbies and more!

Here are some concept sketches I’ve been working on. These are mostly CNC routed wood, although two of the concepts have metal elements.

I really like the idea of a chair with a little cubby underneath the seat.  At home it would e a great place to quickly stash a book or a laptop, and in a restaurant or office it would be a great place for your hoodie or hat. I’m happy with the upper part of the Cubby Chair, but the legs still need some work.

There is also a sketch of an end table that’s in a similar style to the Cubby Chairs.

And finally there is the Cell Stool. I really love the look of four cellular quadrants constrained by the trapezoid. The element I like the most are the asymmetric lofts the create. Fabricating those lofts is a challenge I’m looking forward to in the coming weeks.
