It was probably the second week I was here at Yestermorrow that I picked up this peculiar book, Nomadic Furniture. Flipping through it, I was instantly entertained: the handwritten pages, the freeflowing thoughts, and the obvious 70's design time stamp. I was reunited with this book during Small Scale Design/Build and thought that it was important to really dive into pages: forward thinking knock-down designs, design on a tight budget, recycling, and adapted modern interpretations of high profile designs. Inspiration is plenty. The sawhorse leg table was a design consideration for my desk...maybe good workbench legs. The disposable car seat above is my favorite, hands down. It is such a reflection of the times! Plus that baby looks so happy.
I'm a slightly nomadic New Englander with a grounding in sustainability, design process. personal health, and puns. I am an idea generator interested in creating healthy sustainable experiences.
I love looking at something and determining how I can make it. A recent summer internship at a design/build in Vermont gave me the opportunity to experiment in fine woodworking, carpentry, stained glass, concrete forms, and furniture making. I want to know how everything is made.
I am currently studying Sustainable Business at Bainbridge Graduate Institute.
