Light S27 looks like a bowling ball. But it is formally enhanced by the interaction of concrete and glass materials. The ventilation holes also remind of the common bowling handle. The light can hang down from the ceiling or just lie around in the room.

Frederick is a work table, which deals with the cable problem at the workplace. It is very simple, still dynamicand the design results purely from the cutting pattern. The table consists of 6
parts that are machined out of one plate with extremely low waste. Frederick can be easily fitted together without any tools.
During my master studies, i had the opportunity to write an essay about „ the use of the universitys CNC cutting machine“. Through this, it became a requirement for me, to set the cutting outlines of both, table and side table, in a way on the common industrial board (18 mm), that this is exhaused to the maximum. Also, i wanted to learn how to deal with variations of material thickness.
The cutting outlines are milled with a cutting bit of max. 16 mm, plus 1 mm offset, for planning the contour with a finishing cutter.
First I startet 10 files of 17.5 mm - 18.5 mm, so that i could always use the write file referring to the material thickness. As extra provision, to get a table that is absolutely solid, i turned the plug-in connections on the board below for one degree, what creates more tension and stiffness.
