Static to Dynamic Seating is an on-going process based spatial inquiry into the natural inclination of the body to constantly move. A non-traditional manner of gesture study was used to map movement spatially using modern dance. Consideration for transition from one posture to another attempts to challenge the concept of furniture’s impact on our body to yield a chair created using experimental design and carbon fiber molding processes allowing both active and passive postures for the user. 2012.

The atom lamp was commissioned by the University of Michigan College of Engineering’s Center for Entrepreneurship as part of a larger stage design for their ENGR 407 Lecture Series “Entrepreneurship Hour.” The series hosts distinguished speakers for talks focused on impact driven and social entrepreneurship. The lamp was an interpretation of their new atom logo and branding for the 2011-12 school year.
