Process and Workflow

• Tessellation:

• Started by researching where I can find tessellation in architecture, and different surfaces and find out how to connect the pieces in order to use all the waste fabric

2D Design

• Sketching and Creating Shapes
• Paper
• Scisors

Ideation

• Create a board that would work as an interaction game and turned into a bag
• the stripes would intelock and create a game -use all the waste material to make the connections

Creating The Board

• sketching on rhino to decide the final design
• Scale of the design: 32cm
• Diameter of circle

sketches in rhino file.

testing the file to lasercut.

Preparing the Final Design

1) first test with paper

2) Decided to work with leather leftovers as it would match the idea of my design

3) Lasercut the board first to check if the size is correct 4) check the speed of the laser so as not to burn the leather fabric 5) Lasercut

Final Board

• I want to create a bag where you could change the stripes and their position to create different games. It could be doublesided too in order to be able to make your own pattern.

• With the stripe leftovers I can connect the parts together and form the bag so as to use all the waste material.

Tools

• Rhino 6
• Lasercut
