Cardboard Chaise Prototype I Quarter Iso Grid


This prototype chaise is modelled in Rhino 3D. The "Quarter Iso Grid"- Cutting Files are generated by a grasshopper definition which is inspired by Mike Sheldrake's great iso grid cardboard surfboards. This prototype development is kindly supported by Mike Sheldrake (http://sheldrake.net/cardboards/), Oliver Fritz // CIAD - Cologne Institute for Architectural Design // Chair of CAD.CAM Tischlerei Bächer GmbH.

Wind!Up - Warming Hut Competition


Our proposal for the 2012 Warming Hut Competition in Winnipeg, Canada. Unfortunately not selected...

Cardboard Surfboards I Quarter Iso Grid




























































This cardboard surfboard core is generated by a grasshopper "iso-grid" definition. The work is inspired by Mike Sheldrake's great iso grid cardboard surfboards. The project's goal is to create individual, customer-shaped cardboard core surfboards based on a web-based shape generator based on i.e. processing. This project is kindly and proudly supported by Mike Sheldrake, Tischlerei Bächer GmbH / Sebastian Bächer, Christoph Schulz, Maik Holtiegel and Jan Tenbücken.

Further application opportunities in field of interior design and architecture are being tested.
