About Cotton Spate Consola d'Exposició

Cotton Spate és una consola d'exposició dissenyada per a una botiga temporal (pop-up). La consola presenta un nombre reduït de productes perquè l'atenció es mantingui en cada peça. La seva forma s'inspira en els camps de flors de cotó Pima orgànic que creixen vora un llac al Perú. Una superfície ondulada blanca i tridimensional sosté fines plaques circulars metàl·liques que porten els articles. La part ondulada és d'escuma d'alta densitat modelada a mà a partir d'un model informàtic, i les plaques són de metall pintat de blanc. El taulell i el revestiment exterior són de fusta. L'espai d'emmagatzematge se situa sota la superfície ondulada.

The wavy material is high-density foam and crafted by hand by referencing a three-dimensional computer model. The circular surface is white painted metal inserted into the high-density foam. The counter and outside enclosure of the console is crafted by the carpenter with wood.

The hardest part of this project is to compose the right material and tools for archiving a three-dimensional surface portion due to the budget limitation. Usually, the best ways to compose such a design, it is best to utilize CNC digital fabrication, however, it costs too much for this pop-up shelf. In the end, the attentive solution is to incorporate other industry master craftsmen to cut the high-density foam by hand by referencing the computer model.
Research
The main objective of this project is to find the most efficient ways to craft a three-dimensional surface by choosing the right material and crafting tools. By incorporating other industry skills, the design archive the minimum expanse to assemble the shelf.
Inspiration
The inspiration for the design is the filed of organic Pima cotton flower which the brand exclusively used for its product. The Pima cotton flower grows by the lake in Peru and it creates a strong impression of purity. The shelf incorporates the identity of the brand by creating a white three-dimensional wavy surface and host circular thin metal plates to present their items.
