Assignment 4: Shannon Earnest & Daniel Gomez-Latorre

For our furniture piece, we began by looking at how the inhabitants of the bath house would need to interact with a furniture element as well as how the furniture element would transform the space in which it was placed. Studies into both of these areas led us to design a sort of multipurpose screen. The screen was used in multiple spaces and in various iterations and scales and even incorporated some elements necessary to the bath house such as storage, a bench, or a food preparation area. We also designed a brace for the joints in the screen (not pictured) so that the entire thing could possibly be made to be easily collapsible/refigured.

The screen as it is used as a layering device in locker room portion of the bath house.
