Much like the keys I blogged about earlier - these are like something from a fairytale.

Lamp Pt. 1

So I got back my laser cut pieces for my Laurel Lamp shades. Here is the assembly of one. I plan on assembling the other - and stringing them both - and making an instructable out of it. So next time I post about this they will be finished with an instructable to go along with them.

neighborgapbridge

The neighborgapbridge is an Integrated Learning (IL) class at Otis College of Art and Design. I am mentioning it for two reasons:

1. The instructor in the class is Patricia Kovic, and is the woman who introduced the laser cutter to me, and...

2. There was a laser cut project in the class which I helped set up.

The ngb, like all IL classes, has partners, and its partners are the neighbors of Otis. This includes The Westchester Senior Center, The Westchester Public Library, KJ's Restaurant, and The Custom Hotel (I'm sure I left someone out, sorry). The class promotes community involvement - whether that community is the class, Otis, the neighborhood and further beyond out into the city.

The above is what what termed a ghetto necklace and was branded with ngb. The forms used (shown in the amazing flash on the main page) were based on combining the forms of two very dissimilar objects and tracing their silhouette. They were cut from clear Plexiglas that was then spray painted a shocking pink.

I hope to be in that IL next semester (Spring).

Back At Otis

Yes, I started back at school Monday and I've already dropped off and picked up my laser cutting projects. Pictured above are the parts for my lamp and the new seat for the ANNEX Chair. Not pictured is the cover for my portfolio (I left that at school because I need to drop it off to be printed and bound), but the laser etched Aspen wood veneer looks so amazing!

Kenji Kondo's Lighting

Kenji Kondo's lighting plays with shadows in an amazing, if arbitrary, way (I think the effects are serendipitous). At Just Cool he talks of design taking place anywhere as long as you have the internet (and postal service) - cool concept. His works are available for purchase at MadeOnRequest.com.

Made to fit the designers very small kitchen. It holds two plates, eight cups, and a stand for knives and forks. Just a prototype in wood - the final version will most likely be in plexi.
