Esquisse one - Understanding material


Background
Understanding material properties is critical to design. As furniture designers you are not only responsible for the final geometry and form, but also understanding the process behind it. This project aims to develop these skills.

Process
Using only the 10 mm x-board craft provided (no glue or fixings) construct and document the following:-

· An open ended cube 100 x 100 x 100mm
· Each corner to use a different folding technique
· A locking method to hold the cube closed

Submission
You will be marked on this esquisse at the end of class. It is critical that you consider the accuracy of the dimensional form as well as the detail of the construction. You will also be required to submit an image of ­­­your outcome and post to your blog.
