About Sketch Estantería
La estantería Sketch es una estantería ordenada dentro del caos. Fabricada mediante métodos de diseño digital. La inspiración del diseño proviene del esqueleto de acero de los edificios en construcción. El diseñador combinó líneas para crear un espacio de almacenamiento mediante algoritmos. Las líneas se constituyen metódicamente dentro del caos. Vista desde la distancia, parece una maraña de líneas, pero en realidad es una estantería. Estas estanterías especiales no solo ofrecen respuestas ante la incertidumbre, sino también la belleza de la tecnología moderna y el arte.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Designer combined line to create a space for storage by using algorithm. Line can be constituted methodically in chaos. Seen from a distance, it is a mess of lines, but it is actually a shelf. And these special shelf come out with not only answers of finding uncertainties, but also beauty of modern technology and art.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 812 mm * 424 mm * 1630 mm

- shelf, line, office, commercial furniture, art furniture, digital design
- Production Technology
- Designer discuss the application of digital design method to give the product a new form of research. First, we build a framework of product form we want, and then use grasshopper software to generate some shapes randomly. Designers adjust these forms according to ergonomics, aesthetics, etc., and choose the style suitable for industrial mass production technology, and finally present a work.
Random forms are difficult to manufacture because they cannot be made directly after traditional engineering drawings. So we decided to break the whole into pieces of metal, and then connect the pieces. - Design Challenge
- Social perspective. It can challenge the public's understanding of traditional shelves.
Technology implementation. During the design process, the computer will produce a lot of random structures, designers need to balance the relationship between these random forms and product forms. In addition, designers should balance these random forms with the realization of industrial mass production. - Research
- Digital design, a dynamic design style, pursuing uncertainties, can create a huge amount of variate by logical algorithm, as well as interact with human. Therefore, these random states and results of a new sense of openness bring people in certain environment more space of imagination, which we believe will change our way of thinking someday.
- Inspiration
- The design inspiration of the shelf is the building steel skeleton under construction at the construction site. They are complex and orderly, order within chaos.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2019 in Hangzhou and finished in August 2020 in Hangzhou
- Operation Flow
- The shelf can hold things, crisscross lines can also hang things, and the top support leg can be exposed to hang clothes.
