Flow Spatula

​

Introduction: Designing a Spatula

​

This project introduces methodologies for the generation of forms with complex transitional surfaces. Through observation and experimentation, I designed a spatula out of solid wood. By using a band saw to make four distinct cuts and 180 grit sandpaper, I was able to accurately generate a spatula to my specifications.

Project Brief: Objectives & Challenges

​

-  To introduce basic approaches in form-giving.

 

-  To develop fluency in expressing ideas through two dimensional orthographic representation and sketching.

 

-  To exercise critical judgement in the analysis of two and three-dimensional forms.​

Process:

​

-  Sketching and exploring form

​

-  Exploring usability and functionality 

Prototyping with blue foam, bandsaw, orbital sander, and sanding blocks

​

-  Plan and illustrate production process

​

-  Produce final product using poplar wood
