Digitally Fabricated Bookshelf
Washington, DC, United States
See the installation video here.Late last year we were contacted by a friend who had a stretch of wall
he wanted to do more with in his Dupont
Circle condo here in Washington DC. The owner had a severe lack of
storage for household items, as well as no display options for objects
collected from his worldwide travels.Our solution was a large bookshelf that serves as both an art piece in
itself and a functional storage/display system. An organic curving
surface was created in Rhino that stretched from floor
to ceiling and overhead, terminating at the existing bulkhead, creating
an almost cave-like feeling as you enter the condo. Embedding a
large-scale piece of furniture in a small condo gives visitors an
unexpected change of scale as they enter the space, and also provides a
playful introduction to the other modern furnishings within.17 sheets of 3/4" birch plywood were then CNC milled to notch together
and form the undulating, gridded mass. Special attention was paid to
avoid interfering with the recessed lights, sprinkler heads, air vents
and fire alarms along the hallway ceiling. The vertical plywood
components were spaced to avoid them or notched to allow them to
function.
