Furniture Design and Manufacture - Display Case (2003)
Similar to how one frames a precious picture, this furniture piece explores that
notion, on a larger scale, resulting in a piece which frames a select few precious
items. A plinth allows for the display and storage of a small collection, or
special items which one may wish to display. The outer structure serves as the
'frame', with a routed groove eluding to the inner display. Materials chosen
were 16mm pre-laminated medium density fibreboard, with contrasting colours selected,
architectural white and lemontree. Only two jointing systems have been implemented,
routed butt joints for the inner structure, and mitre joints for the outer frame
assembly, which results in a clean, simple yet effective piece. Special thanks
to Les McIntosh and Ian Bonney for their experience and assistance in the manufacturing
process.
