Floor plan concept

Svereal concepts were considered inside a square grid with 45 degree angled diagonals that would encourage movement around the area.

Design module concepts

Several repeatable modules were explored. At this point it was decided that we were going to be using 45x45mm timber as the main construction material. These small beams were to be designed for easy disassembly so that they could be re-used other projects and possably for future exhibitions after the one that we were planning for.

Design module

The final result was a result of aestetics, convenience of production and availability of materials. The tables were mainly rectangular shapes that could be easily duplicated. In order to break up the repetition, angled tables were attached on the table corners.

We created jig systems in order to accelerate production of the rectangular units.
