Studio 4: B3

I spent this week looking at how I could deconstruct the shape of my original concept in order to further develop this desk system. As an alternative to the plywood I was using, I began experimenting with cork; the elasticity and flexibility of the material went hand in hand with my design and the use of cork eliminated the aesthetic issues I was facing while using plywood.

I am a Bahraini product designer based in New York City. I am currently pursuing a degree in product design at Parsons the New School of Design. With a focus on furniture and housewares, I am very hands on in my design process; often designing through the manufacturing process. I continue to challenge myself by taking on projects as an opportunity to explore materiality and processes. Rather than hiding imperfections in a piece, I bring them to the forefront of the concept to highlight the manufacturing process.
