Scale Pack Sheet

OSL 010 · Saumya Mutneja

This system attempts to reduce the amount and space consumed by conventional packaging methods. The sheet adapts to multiple objects, varying in size and shape while remaining reusable. Inspired by YankoDesign’s Universal Packaging system, this method explores the role of stabilizing the whole form using interlocking clips made from the same material.

The packaging kit, inscribed in an A3 Tyvek paper sheet, consists of two main parts, the foldable sheet, and the interlock clips. The sheet is made of 80 square tiles measuring 37.1mm x 37.1mm each, perforated into four triangles and a plus-shaped cutout at the center. Once wrapped around the object, the remaining sheet edges slide into the plus-shaped cutout. The paper interlocks also slide through these cutouts and can then be folded to lock the packaged form to provide stability.

The ALTER

OSL 014 · Amaory Portorreal

The ALTER is about transformation. It calls upon the trend of upcycling, or creative reuse, in order to transform waste into a new product. An obtuse television cardboard box is transformed into something sleek, sturdy and unique. The idea of creating a piece of furniture to be used while watching a Samsung television further reinforces the connection between the cardboard used to make ALTER, and the television that it once held. The ALTER’s design is angular, mirroring the cardboard box that it's made from, but softened through the sleek slenderness of the design. The cardboard box is further transformed from a rectangle, into a series of triangular shapes which add to the ALTER’s ability to bear weight. The design uses folding and cardboard joinery techniques to transform a four sided piece of cardboard into a multifaceted piece of furniture using only four simple steps.

FurnitureMandala

OSL 017 · Chandani Patel

A small table near a window (or TV) can become a site for many activities at different times; a place to eat, to study, as a footrest, an extension of a kitchen platform and at night, a clearing to place a mattress. In this context, Furniture templates attempt to offer a larger imagination of space, time and scale in the vector space of Autocad.

The templates are made by dimensions derived from a choreography of human movements and behaviours; walls and surfaces are suggestions that follow. They can be used as tools for design that have inbuilt in them many possible interpretations of place.

Rules:

1. If an access arrow meets a wall there must be an opening

2. Only circulation space (hatched portions/tiles) of one template may overlap with anothersst, an extension of a kitchen platform and at night, a clearing to place a mattress. In this context, Furniture templates attempt to offer a larger imagination of space, time and scale in the vector space of Autocad.
