brief
Mobile filing cabinet built with the visually distinct planks from a construction site. An ode to continuous change and reusing materials in a different context. When is something truly done? Everything is in perpetual development and keeps on changing its form.

idea
We needed mobile furniture for our keyboard in our flat to make the most out of the limited space in our living room. My flatmate and I brainstormed for a bit and came to the conclusion that custom-built furniture would be the best so we could have it to our exact specifications.

process
01. CONCEPTConceptualized a mobile corpus to serve as a keyboard stand and storage unit to use the space in our living room more efficiently.
02. DESIGNCreated the design in SketchUp with real measurements to calculate planks, screws and corner-brackets needed. Sized to fit RAKO boxes with ideal keyboard height.
03. SOURCE MATERIALSWorkers from the construction site next door gave me planks they had cut to non-standard lengths.
04. BUILDCut planks to the four lengths from SketchUp, then assembled using corner-brackets and wheels.
05. CAPTURE & EDITUsed a white backdrop and studio lights to capture 360° photos. Used Photoshop batch processing to adjust light temperature, crop, and remove backgrounds.
06. PUT TO USEFinal setup: mobile keyboard stand on wheels with storage space.
