CHair + Table
This is my favourite piece from my high school years. It was the first piece I made in the realm of multifunctional furniture and one of the most unique ideas that I produced. It serves as a rocking chair when the side panels are facing vertically and can be transformed into a desk by removing the cushions and flipping it onto one of its faces.
The simple form, being comprised of only two different shapes, gives it a sculptural feel and I think proves successful in being functional and clean.
MultiFunctional
Bench
Another installment of my interest in multifunctional furniture was this bench. I continued to be interested in a piece of furniture not only having two or more functions but having two or more forms. How can I take a piece and turn it on its side, split it in half, add this thing, take this away, etc... to get something completely new? This idea is what birthed this piece.
It is meant to serve as a chair and storage but can create seating for three when collapsed into a bench.
The tension chair
This is a chair created in partnership a highschool classmate and current Emily Carr student: Marjan Jamal. The chair contains no screws or nails, constructed solely with joinery. The interesting thing about this chair is the fact that the cross pieces that make-up the actual seat and backrest are not affixed to the chair. They are free to move about which allows this chairs unique feature to function. Due to the slats being independent, they can flex and bend to the user's body weight.
This was a super interesting project and exploration of embracing material properties.

Driftwood table
This was a personal project that drew from my life long love for driftwood. Driftwood was always a presence in Ontario where I spent my summers and always thought that driftwood tables were beautiful.
This large stump was sourced from the banks of Ambleside beach and after one broken dolly, I got it home. It was Washed, Scrubbed, Sanded, and finished with boat varnish for the rich glossy look. Also, two large bolts were put in to act as the 4th point of contact and final foot on the bottom. These two bolts were placed in a vertical line running through the piece to create the effect of one continuous bolt serving as the foot and glass support.
