Grasshopper

A landscape scaled into a seat.

Finished prototype / made to order

A grass-covered seating form developed through digital modeling, sectional fabrication, 3D printing, seeding, and growth.

A grass-covered seating form developed through digital modeling, sectional fabrication studies, 3D-printed components, seeding, and growth.

Two linked peaks create a low seat and a higher back while keeping the object close to the ground.

The open lattice is both fabrication logic and planting surface.

Section studies

Digital_Form

A continuous profile was divided into printable segments while preserving the saddle between both peaks.

Physical prototype

Printed_Lattice

The first full form exposes the triangulated support network before planting.

Living surface

Seed_&_Growth

Seed settles into the open shell, gradually replacing the visible print with a dense green surface.

Aluminum_Benches

Two benches. One metal language.

Fabrication quoting / finish development

Two complementary aluminum benches developed around 1/4-inch material, continuous-radius bends, and a shared furniture-grade finish direction.

A paired furniture study: one simple aluminum bench and one aluminum bench developed for a darker brown leather top.

Both are built around .250-inch material, broad planes, continuous 3-inch-radius bends, and tapped assembly hardware.

The leather-bench CAD shown here is the developed visual record; fabrication, final coating, and finish samples remain in progress.

Assembled aluminum bench CAD study

Leather bench variant

Form_Study

A long folded body holds the top inside two rounded end plates.

The side ledges extend the seat plane beyond the aluminum shell.

.250-inch aluminum

Bent_Structure

Front and plan studies isolate the long horizontal frame, rounded corners, and top support.

Both benches are intended to share one restrained finish language.

Exploded CAD

Assembly

End plates, long rails, formed seat pan, cushion, and hardware separate into a readable stack.

Fastening and finish remain visible design decisions, not hidden afterthoughts.
