Worked on a couple ideas last night. First I had an idea for the balance chair concept from v4 11, I uploaded it to that post so it can be seen there. Then I started working some candle holder ideas. We have very traditional one on display so I just started drawing some modern ideas for them. Then I started messing around with an idea that has been explored by other designs, incorporating nature directly into furniture design. My garden is in bloom so it seemed fitting.
I think I am going to enter one or two of designs in this as a DIY'er. Not sure what it should be yet. I have 2 weeks to get something in.

If anyone has any suggestions based on what they have seen on here let me know. If it is one of the sketches I need at least 2 days to get it built in Solidworks and rendered.
I did this project several years ago when I was looking for wheels for my car. All I wanted was split 6 spoke wheels that were off-set and bent around the lip. I could not find what I wanted so I designed it. My buddy Kenny through it on the GTI for me thanks buddy!
Today I did 2 sheets since I failed to do a sheet on for v4 16. The first sheet I did was a couple ideas for martini shaker and glass. The 2nd page was a page of possible ideas for re-grind plastic products that one of my friends suggested I work on.
This is a project I did about a year ago. I took a sketch like the 20 or so I have already posted and started resolving it in Solidworks a design/engineering software. From there I developed some nice presentation pages and model. This is what I am going to do with some of the concepts that I have been working on for the last month and over the coming months.
This was not in the true sense a design project. We had to attend a trade show in AC so unfortunately I didn't have time to sketch or think too much about any project. I have always admired horrendous patterns of AC casinos from carpets to wallpaper in particular all Bally's Casinos, as I was walking from casino to casino I decided that documenting these patterns would count as today's project so a photography project it is!
The concept that clouds look comfortable and statements like sleeping on cloud. I thought a big over stuffed cloud couch could be really cool. This was sort of based off Super Mario Brothers clouds. The iconic 2D cloud translated into a 3D couch. As I write this I thought it would be really cool if it was modular and it could be moved around and rearranged to make any shape cloud couch you want. This design could make great seating for bars and clubs as well as museums.
