[Introduction]

Designer & Fabricator


The stool I designed was fabriacted by Gioia Pirozzi, and I helped fabricate a stool designed by Felix Cooper. This project was an exercise in communication between designer and 'manufacturer', where our primary mode of communication was through construction drawings.
