Type --> Furniture
My intent for Type --> Furniture is to conduct a study that attempts to connect two disciplines / mediums by looking at the design process of each. I want to design furniture while in a typographic state of mind. The links between the crafting of type and furniture are design principles that almost all disciplines share: size/proportion, ergonomics, optics (and optical tricks), form, hierarchy, etc. My goal is to find a relevant way to translate these principles from one medium to another. My challenge is to take inspiration from forms that are usually seen as pixels or as ink on paper, and to adapt them using similar ideals, to a piece of usable (or not usable) furniture, an object that takes up space in the three-dimensional world.
