Simi

A major second year assignment was the chair project. Through groups of four, a chair design had to be devised and built as a final prototype. The design that my group decided to go with was that of an economic cafe stool. A design which had huge opportunity for versatility, and so from the original design, three other variants were devised and created.

Of these four variants I had constructed two of them. One with green suede upholstery as the base design, and the second one having casters, as a work stool.

Rockefeller

The purpose behind this project was to design and build a functional lamp that incorporated origami. One of the Projects requirements was to base the design on a historical design movement. My design was inspired by the streamlined era of the 1930s. Many materials were utilized in the build, along with manufacturing techniques. For the base; painted MDF vacummeformed polystyrene, and the shade is constructed from mylar folded strips.

Tusk

The design reasoning behind this spoon was to construct a spoon from wood that could be used in a frying pan, as well as to eat with. Thus the different geometry used. The initial prototypes used were made from pine, then the final carved from black walnut. Finished with olive oil.

Bus Shelter

One of the first year studio projects required that a Bus shelter design be conceived then brought to fruition with a scaled model. Different districts of Toronto were assigned, in this case the Financial District was assigned. A 1:16 scale model was created with a personal emphasis and attention to detail when it came to every aspect of the build. Made entirely from scratch from  polystyrene sheets, aluminum sheet, and various other materials.

Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a light two-man scout helicopter that I had designed using the Solidworks® computer aided design program.

In this situation Dragonfly is depicted as being under the use of the Polish Military.

Flail

Flail is a mechanical wooden toy that I had designed and built. It works by having the user rotate the crank handle which in turn causes the "arms" to "flail" back and forth. 

The rate of the "flailing" depends on how quickly or slowly the user rotates the crank handle. It can only properly work at the optimal crank speed.

The final prototype is constructed from red oak, white oak, black walnut and red oak dowels, finished with tung oil.

Shown below is the comparison between the initial working prototype and the final.
