Abstract

It is important to use materials, crafts and technologies to design and manufacture shapes of physical objects, such as furniture. This paper joins pieces of traditional and contemporary studio furniture, decoding them on the basis of material, craft, and computer design technologies. Drawing on Studio furniture maker Wendell Castle and showcase of Night stand chair, it is important for the thesis shows the digital fabrication process that CNC remediated traditional relations of craft and forms of value. It is common to create aesthetical pleasing on the procedure of studio furniture manufacture, while the user focuses on the aesthetics of the design, the computational design framework helps to achieve physical realizability by digital technology. From both the analysis toward traditional relations and new forms of studio’s experience, the paper would demonstrate that material and creative practice may pose questions and opportunities for wider digital technology concerns around craft, creativity and manufacture process.
