MassArt Reception Desk

steel, glass, bronze, maple




As part of a group of architecture, industrial design and sculpture students working as a design-build firm, I created a model and presentation proposing my design for a Massachusetts College of Art reception desk. My proposal was chosen by a committee of judges and the design was executed by myself and the rest of our team. The construction included pouring over 200 pounds of bronze for the countertop, casting molten glass into graphite forms, and hot riveting dozens of hand-forged rivets on-site.
