[ Studio Lazerian ] Light Modulator

Modular Form: Furniture by studio Lazerian Liam Hopkins was born in Manchester, England, and studied a BA(Hons) in Three Dimensional Design at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), England. Hopkins set up design studio Lazerian in Manchester, 2006, and has collaborated with artist Richard Sweeney on design projects from 2007 to present. Sweeney was born in Huddersfield, England, and met Hopkins while studying on the same course at MMU. Both Hopkins and Sweeney take an experimental approach to design, which is based upon the hands-on investigation of materials and processes, combining both traditional hand-craft and computer-aided design techniques. A collaboration between Liam Hopkins and Richard Sweeney, the project which spawned the Light Modulator, Mensa table and Mensa coffee table was based upon a study of form in 1.5mm and 3mm birch plywood. The principle behind the working method was to discover means of creating objects through the use of a CNC routing machine, with a cutting bed size of 750mm2. Fabrication was limited to the use of glue or bolts. The use of hands-on modelling as a means of testing and developing form was employed from the outset. By manipulating plywood directly, the behavior of the material was used to develop shapes and structures. Factors such as grain direction, flexibility and strength were integral to the resolution of final constructions. Material properties informed the development of computer models, which were used to create physical, paper maquettes before construction in plywood. By maintaining a material-led approach, the computer can be more effectively utilised in the creation of form, as an awareness of physical constraints has already been established. Embracing both hand-craft and machine process allows the exploration of ideas, which utilise the unique aspects of both approaches. [ 本帖最后由 noclew 于 2008-12-16 10:26 编辑 ]
