The Re/obliq bench is the outcome of geometric explorations with the intent of creating a modular object that contains the inherent ability to aggregate, evoking community-oriented spatial arrangements.
Conceptually, the bench explores how simple geometry can be inserted into a basic form to create an object in space that functions as a place to converse and rest. The formal operation features three main glance cuts; The first two give a sense of form, while the third defines a crucial face. Considering one final form of the bench, a second type was generated by the procedural operation of mirroring. With two variations, oblique geometries can interact, opening opportunities to aggregate into clusters by forming unique relationships and space activation. During the design phase, we collaborated with a local fabrication firm to bring the design to life using 3D printing technology that brought multiple advantages.
By applying architectural influence on furniture, Re\obliq studies geometric principles that explore modularization and technological advancements of material logics in fabrication, while emphasizing community-oriented spatial relationships in the built environment.
