This semester, F_Lab will introduce students to explore the properties of wood as a material for furniture making. Focusing on the theme of ‘the body at rest’, students will design and prototype in pairs to produce two artefacts designed to relate to each other.
F_Lab: Bespoke Furniture introduces students to the consideration of materiality, anthropometrics and fabrication techniques. Students will be exposed to a variety of materials, tools and processes and are expected to demonstrate a wide range of making techniques including hand-tool usage and modern woodworking equipment. Process driven design is at the core of F_Lab encouraging students to physically experiment in the workshop in order to explore and exploit the unique material properties of wood. Working in pairs, students are expected to develop two innovative and original designs responding to the theme of ‘the body at rest’. Their designs must consider the relationship between form and function, materiality, and the human interactions both designs promote as a set.
