Richard Bacon
The focus of my major project was to create an elegant and highly customisable piece of furniture which would be suitable in a range of public environments.
The narrative for my work is ‘design which reinterprets contemporary architecture and embraces advanced digital manufacturing along with traditional techniques’.
The focus of my research has been to understand the practice of modern furniture design and manufacture for the contract furniture market. Secondly, research was done into the architectural style known as structural expressionism which emerged in the 1970s due to technological breakthroughs. The key concept is to reveal the structural elements on the exterior to create an edgy, industrial-based aesthetic. It is a style that is still popular today.
These two areas of research led to the creation of a multipurpose frame, which along with a variety of components creates a final product with a multitude of aesthetic options.
