Blue Drip
was commissioned by Meg and Jack in Sydney, Australia. Envisioning an abstract piece
of furniture serving as a Hifi station, we traded napkin sketches deliberating
on dimensions, materials and colour. Blue drip accommodates over 60 records on
its lower shelf with fiberglass reinforced polystyrene foam. The upper level
serves as a platform for a record player & speakers and is also reinforced
with fiberglass. The foam segments were hand sculpted using a hot wire cutter,
grinder and rasps. Held in place by locating pins the multiple pieces are left
separate until both parties are satisfied with the final form. After gluing and
reinforcing with fiberglass cloth the unit underwent structural testing
ensuring adequate strength was accomplished.
