The Beyond: Furniture

In collaboration with the University of Arkansas 3D Advanced Technologies Lab & Vincent Edwards Design, open-source designed furniture was created for the exhibition. Comprised of simple, flat, interlocking parts, the pieces were cut from off-the-shelf sheet material and assembled in the University’s Design Lab. You can create them too! Designs available for download here.
