GIRDIE
// SUMMER 2026 * PERSONAL PROJECT * 5 WEEKS
// goals
Design a flat-pack bedside table that assembles with ease. Use bent metal accents as a functional and visual system. Explore friction fit geometries and how they allow for modularity and personality.
// concept
Components ship flat and go together fast, with friction-fit geometry doing most of the work and fasteners only where they're structurally needed.
// friction fit
The middle panel slides in and the bent edges press against the wooden walls tightly enough to stay put under load without fasteners.
// color material finish
Stained pine plywood, bent aluminum, painted hardware.
The orange accent draws a line along every bend and displays the relationship and interaction between the two materials.
