2 Benches and 6 ChairsGraphical image of project brief. Project Brief: To design a set of chairs and a duo of loveseat couches to be paired up with a table (already created) for a meeting room. Those pieces would showcase weaving technique by the weaving artist. It was required the use of metal tube as structure. Keywords: Loveseats, chairs, metal tubes, organic, curves, elegant, modern, arcs, fluidity, joints, backrest, ergonomics, table, meeting room, weaving, upholstery, pairs, softness, bending, sculptural, colors, tangentsCollection of images of curved, organic-shaped couches and chairs creating a moodboard.
As this project was so organic and curvy, I chose to use Rhinoceros for 3D modeling.
The curves on both models were designed to be mathematically tangents, elegant, provide stability, hold weaving pattern, and be easily reproduced by the metalsmith.

This page contains images from a freelance project I was part of. 

In this particular project, my work for the client was 3D modeling, exploration and tests of curves, forms, dimensions, renderings and technical drawings for the seats and loveseat couches.

We aimed for a unique product with beautiful, elegant curves. A lot of testing and editing went down in order to find the curves with perfect balance.

The images show the process from sketches and 3D modeling to the end result. Colors and patterns selected in partnership with client and done by weaving artist contribute to the impact of this piece.

My participation in freelance projects can include activities such as new product concepts, 3D modeling, study of form, colors and materials, 3D renderings, technical drawings for manufacturing, video animations and more.

Esta página inclui imagens de um projeto freelance no qual participei.

Neste projeto em particular, meu trabalho para o cliente foi em modelagem 3D, exploração e teste de curvas, formas, dimensões, renderizações 3D e desenhos técnicos para produção das cadeiras e sofás loveseat.

Nosso objetivo era criar um produto único e com curvas elegantes. Para tanto, houve muita dedicação à modelagem das curvas para alcançar o equilíbrio perfeito.

As images ao lado mostram o desenvolvimento desde a modelagem 3D feita por mim (resultado de muita exploração com as curvas) até o resultado final com as cores e texturas selecionadas pela cliente.

Minhas participações em projetos de comissão podem incluir atividades como conceituação de produtos, modelagem 3D, estudo de forma, estudo de cores, materiais e combinações, renderizações 3D, desenhos técnicos para produção, animação de produtos e muito mais.
