Chelsea Workspace / Synthesis Design + Architecture

Posted in Design - Furniture by * FORMAKERS [ GM ]

This home office for a private personal investment advisor responds to the clients brief of a discrete yet sculptural design solution for a home office by conceptually draping a dynamic surface over an orthogonal arrangement of the required home office elements including a work desk, storage units, printer, paper shredder etc.

The fluid geometric form is articulated as a series of alternating CNC milled birch plywood ribs. The frosted Perspex storage elements are internally illuminated with LED’s to gently articualte the floating boxes within the fluid field of curved ribs.

With a strict budget, this project was an exercise in reailizing complex geometries with limited finances.

The project is a great example of how close collaboration and exchange between designers and fabricators from the early stages of a project can yield exceptional results within rather constrained budget limitations. Synthesis Design + Architecture worked together with Cutting Edge for the fabrication of the bespoke furniture elements.

For details on the fabrication process and materials used check out this article about the project at A|N Blog http://goo.
