'the fold'

To design and produce an object based on the idea of the 'fold'...

 

 

 

 

 

 

How it all began...

model making & playing with possible ideas...

Model making

More cardboard models...

refining model design

larger model

refining techniques and processes

constructing custom mould for shaping

utilising mould, using the press

joining/constructing issues...

spray painting to test out colours

prototype

I felt the piece lacked something, which meant more playing around with design, material, construction etc...

industrial double sided tape for joining?

testing out perforated galvanised steel as a possible material choice

 

The perforation reduces weight and has an interesting visual affect

Also came up with a solution of joining the two panels using tube rivets

The rough edges were a problem

The blank strip helped solve the 'rough edge' problem as well as providing a negative space for branding

Ebony white 'ZIG'

Flame red 'ZIG'

 Four points of enfoldment is intended as a showcase as well as a
market. It is a short but vital moment for the designers to shine and
show off their potential for innovation. Four points represents the
culmination of work by the designers in the Masters of Design program
at UTS; which pairs the creative process with practical small scale
manufacture. The range of work that will be presented explores the
concept of ‘fold’; with designers from very different backgrounds, it
presents the exhibition with four objects designed with their own
unique philosophy.
