SLICEM:
Simple Furniture Production
SLICEM is a stool series heavily inspired by the works of German designer Konstantin Grcic, especially the furniture projects MEDICI, PALLAS, and DIANA.
Introduction / Ver. 1
I like the challenge of designing under constraints. Both versions follow a principle: they must be made from a single piece of material.
The production of this stool is extremely simple: A single sheet of aluminium is cut with a waterjet machine and bent into its final form by hand. Thanks to its design and material, the stool turns out to be light and stable.
Ver. 2
The furniture is designed to be made from a single oak wood plank using a CNC machine, and foam was used to produce mockups during the design process.
To combine traditional woodcraft with modern production techniques, I reduced the use of adhesive and screws and mainly used the mortise and tenon joint structure to assemble the stool.
