FOSTER + PARTNERS INTERNSHIP
I worked on multiple projects over the 7 months, ranging from a curtain system for kvadrat, an aluminium extruded outdoor chair for Dedon, laminated bamboo airport seating and a glass blown pendant light for Artemide. I gained competence in the use of both Solidworks and Rhino software, helping to visualise fine details of the 3D form and subsequently sending parts to the ZUND and 3D printers for a scale reference.
CURTAIN RAIL
One many briefs that I worked on during my placement at Foster + Partners was to design an automated curtain system using Kvadrats new noise cancelling fabric technology in co-working environments to make more effective use of office space. I was set the task of designing and modelling the curtain clips and rail which the new fabric will be hung from.
Using the strength of the SLS printed components I developed the mechanism further into a full scale prototype. I photographed the process and final design which I then put into a portfolio which was then sent to Kvadrat.
PENDANT LIGHT
The brief was to design a pendant glass blown light that is a brother to an existing range that Foster + Partners has originally released called the Orsa. I was set the task of developing a series of prototypes which would result in a finalised prototype that would then be sent to the client.
I worked to construct a final prototype for the light. I constructed it from SLA 3D printed components, aluminium tubing, due to the tight time frame this method of rapid prototyping was very effective and produces strong and accurate results.
ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION CHAIR
During my placement at Foster + Partners I worked with the team on this stackable outdoor chair for Dedon. I was heavily involved in the prototyping of the chair. I constructed the model from CNC foam which I then used my skills in the spray booth to give the model a glossy finish.
I was asked to explore in earlier stages of the modelling how the fabric would be attached to the chair and how it would react when placed on a tight curve. I explored this by SLA printing a few different solutions and then wrapped fabric around then.
