A new product prototype in the works! I’ve been asked by Wodclub to design a custom iPad stand or dock. Something made out of wood vs. the standard, plastic/rubber stands that are commonly used with iPhones and iPods. My client wanted something a little more urban and environmentally friendly. Below is a quick sample drawing of where I’m headed with the design. The “X” shape is inspired by “Crossfit”. The stand must do two things…hang from a wall or sit on a desk or common area throughout Crossfit Gyms. Trainers need easy access so they can record a members time or load quickly and efficiently into the Wodclub’s Crossfit workout tracker. The design also allows a trainer to grab the iPad from any of the four sides of the stand. If you’re spending $500 for a iPad, it makes sense to have a safe place to set it!

I’m working on a variety of ways to put this together, including laser cutting the back and designing an aluminum bracket that will attach to a wall or sit on a desk. Stay tuned for updates.

I have been thinking about this design and alternative ways to make the cabinet front unique. I have so many ideas, from silk screening on wood, to typography and other materials. Another interesting approach would be to mount a canvas to the door. On one or both sides! It could be any image, from original artwork to a personal or stock photo or illustration digitally printed on canvas.

I recently had a photo that I took digitally printed to canvas and stretched to a frame for my wall… It turned out great. With so many options to consider, I’ll definitely be exploring more in the future. We’re going to have fun with this one! Please contact us if you are interested!

I just designed this for a friend. They wanted a longer bench to go in their entry way. One that they could sit on and take their shoes off…. and also double as a place to put the shoes to dry out. The design incorporates the cork mosaic look for the doors, bamboo plywood and perforated aluminum for ventilation through the backside. The design/pattern can be almost anything, however a simple solution is usually the strongest. Turns out, I did a couple options… one that might appeal to her (flower), and one that might appeal to him (stripes).

This is a project inspired by the cork side cabinet that I recently built. I have been thinking bout this design execution with the red stripes as a signature style for a while now. The biggest hurdles have been, what materials I should utilize. For my first prototype, I’ve settled on walnut or bamboo plywood, cork fronts with red acrylic or walnut veneer. I’ve been sourcing materials and am hoping to build one soon. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested!

PRODUCT DETAILS:
