STAIRS SUBMISSION

Below are sketches of 4 stairs in different point of views. These sketches were drawn to fit with each workspaces. Stair A & B are suited for the upper workspace, whereas stair C & D were designed for the lower workspace.

For my Stair submission for Week 2, I chose to develop Stair A on SketchUp.

DESCRIPTION

One of the words used to associate Trent Jansen's furniture was "chocolate", which inspired me to design the steps of the stairs resembling chocolate bars. "Texture", also used to describe Jansen's furniture, was reflected through the textured rooftops and lower side of the stairs to create interesting negative and positive spaces as well as a form of support for the stairs. The pyramids on the bottom of the stairs also reflects towards the fragility of chocolate.
