The GeoEdge Stand embodies a bold geometric aesthetic, emphasizing the strength of triangles and hexagons. It balances the sensation of weightlessness with a solid wood top and an openwork base of metal sheets, creating striking negative space. I guided this piece from initial sketch to prototype to final manufacturing.
The standout feature of GeoEdge is its unique legs, crafted from a single metal rod and a folded metal sheet. The design's beauty extends to its underside, where the negative space forms a captivating interplay of white space, evoking an intriguing illusion of imbalance.
This piece of furniture showcases my craftsmanship in every detail. I contributed through sketching, 3D modeling, cardboard prototyping, metal manufacturing, and wood manufacturing, thoroughly enjoying each phase. Wood and metal bring contrasting qualities—metal with its ability to bend and shape, and wood with its warm, soft essence. Witnessing the collaboration between these materials was truly rewarding. I took pleasure in using all the tools and machines in the makerspace, a place where I could transform my imagination into reality.
From sketches to manufacturing, this project took just one and a half weeks. In this fast-paced experience, I honed my design and manufacturing skills. I built the 3D model in Fusion 360, ensuring perfect proportions and representing the core concept. Metal manufacturing required particular attention to detail—from cutting, bending, and soldering to sanding. This process fully reflects my craftsmanship spirit.
