Frank Furniture was the culmination of my Design Studies thesis from when I graduated university. It is and was very dear to my heart, where I learned many new skills and the importance of failure. This project is mostly that, an exploration of failure - failed prototypes, incorrect measurements resulting in spaghettified 3D-printed models, trials and errors until I got somewhere that I wanted to work with.

The goal of this project was to create a two-piece, modular system from machined wood that would be flexible enough to be broken down and put back together in different shapes, similar to LEGO in system but at a much larger scale. This system was intended to be able to lock together in angles to emulate furniture or other household objects, and break down as needed for other projects.

Here’s a selection of imagery from that project, some digital and some physical, because as old as this project now is it still brings me pleasure, and I hope someday to return to this idea to explore it further.
