▼ The study aims to describe the practice and nature of contemporary artisanal furniture design in Cape Town. This description focuses on: the design and production processes utilised, the shared principles and perceptions among the practitioners, the challenges experienced in the practice, and the role that artisanal furniture design fulfils within the industry today. The research problem that the study investigates, is the lack of understanding of what the practice of artisanal furniture design involves today. Being a resurgence of craftsmanship, the shared challenges of the contemporary practice are not clearly defined. The additional benefits of this practice to the city of Cape Town are also not identified. Taking the form of an exploratory investigation, a case study was used as research strategy to observe and examine four contemporary artisanal furniture designers in Cape Town. Multimethod qualitative research was applied to gather data, employed in a cross-sectional time horizon. The qualitative methods included direct observation, semi-structured interviews, research exercises, photo documentation and field notes. David Pye's Theory of Making was used as conceptual framework for the study, determining the level of risk involved with the various stages of artisanal production, and evaluating the grade of workmanship used by the practitioners to create the artisanal furniture pieces. The study's findings were analysed according the dimensions of Pye's book, and applied as themes for discussion in the document. The limitations of this study are the danger of personal involvement of the researcher, and thus the influence of subjectivity. The study is also limited to its scope of product design, and further limited to the focus area of furniture design. Based on four artisanal furniture designers in Cape Town, the findings are related to these specific cases, not representing the complete practice. The result of the study is an in-depth synopsis describing the nature and approach that contemporary artisanal furniture designers in Cape Town share. This description of the practice is a valuable contribution for the role that these designers fulfil, while establishing a defined community of practice. The study also contributes towards the documentation of South African furniture design, being of high value to the limited existing pool of research.

▼ The home experience of serving food for friends and family, and sharing food is a significant event in my life. Furnishings play a prominent role in this circumstance. For my thesis, I created works that enhance the conditions and ambiance of the residential dining and living experience. When sharing with friends, happiness is my primary objective. I love to create works containing peacefulness and coziness that could help people calm down and relax. For my thesis body of work, I incorporated gentle curvilinear lines and symmetric shapes to suggest peaceful and harmonious feelings. My material choice was wood as the primary material, along with other materials, selected for reasons of contemporary aesthetics and appropriate function. I took advantage of colors and textures coming naturally from the materials. To invite users to enjoy my work, I created smooth, continuous and tactile surfaces. Each piece of my design was based on the research into lifestyle and dining culture. Creating furniture and other objects that help bring people together through the ritual of the dining experience was my goal. My aesthetics is influenced profoundly by Scandinavian design because of my summer experience in Denmark, 2015. Seven weeks was not a long period in a lifetime, but it was long enough to get a sense to begin with. I started to know a new environment with a deep history of modern design, and refreshed my mind. I researched the Scandinavian influential designers, such as Alvar Aalto, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Bruno Mathsson, etc. I also researched furniture brands and designers world-wide to study what is timeless and what is happening currently, such as Michael Thonet, Charles and Ray Eames, and brands like Vitra, Carl Hansen & Søn, Design Within Reach, Normann Copenhagen, and Menu. My sources also included leading design and lifestyle magazines about travel, food, design and culture, such as Monocle, Wallpaper, Cereal Magazine, Elle Decor, Rum Interior Magazine, and Gentle Woman.

▼ This written thesis represents the culmination of several years of research, conceptual development, and studio work and accompanies an exhibition of furniture work, titled Narrative Drawers: Reconsidering Familiar Precedents of Drawer Furniture, which was held in the Bevier Gallery at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, from April 24 - May 10, 2006. A portion of this research directly results from my efforts under a 2005 Graduate Research Grant awarded by the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, Hendersonville, North Carolina. Four original pieces of furniture were made for this exhibition: Tradition, Perforated Chest of Drawers, Private Exhibition, and Private Life. These works are variations on several types of drawer furniture: a Queen Anne style side table, a Modern style chest of drawers, a novel, revisionist clothesline, made compact for a home interior in a chest of drawers format, and a tabletop version of a Hadley style chest-over-drawer. The focus is on drawer furniture because of its rich symbolic potential. Considerable effort was made to develop these four furniture pieces into a cohesive body of work, and so the work is structured using themes. Four themes evolved in the making of this thesis: narrative, surface decoration, remarks on historical precedents, and the subversion of functional expectations. After establishing the basis for cohesiveness and relevance in studio furniture making, this writing examines the successes and weaknesses of the individual works, of their cohesiveness with the themes and each other, and of the exhibition in the gallery setting. Finally, the influence of this thesis upon my future endeavors in furniture making is envisioned. Though I greatly enjoy each individual piece, I suggest that this body of work and exhibition fail the test of cohesion. I trace the problem back to the thesis proposal. I now see clearly how more control over my subject would greatly improve my work's cohesiveness and clarity. Advisors/Committee Members: Tannen, Rich.

▼ This research project is an investigation of furniture within the public domain, both interior and exterior. Looking closely at the physical interaction with form in public space, it is a body of work that examines and questions traditional notions of function within furniture and reinterprets them through the use of forms that are hybrid objects, mixing the functional and the self-expressive asking; Can reduced furniture forms still provide a variety of functions and how can they stimulate the imagination of the user? Underpinning this research is the development of a strong minimal aesthetic, where forms have been pared back to simple basic components. This minimal visual language is used to create a functional ambiguity in the work and at the same time allow for, and develop, the possibility of creative personal interaction and functional choice on the part of the user. The research questions the nature of function in furniture and argues that reduced form does not necessarily restrict function, but rather enhances and engages it. Investigating the nature of the minimal form to provide multiple functional opportunities, the research also questions our traditional expectations of furniture. It examines the notion of the ambiguous form and identifies and explores the ability of people to find function in non-furniture objects. Blending the sculptural with the functional the project experiments with ideas of what furniture is and what it is supposed to look like. Intersecting the functional explorations of the project are examinations into the role of the imagination of the user. The project looks at the blending of the imagination and interaction through studies of children's toys, play grounds, play equipment, theatrical set design and stage props. Linking with theories concerning these subjects, the research investigates how a minimal form can be something different to each person and how, through imagination, these forms assume a variety of different functions. The project is located in a contextual field of artists and designers whose work is either concerned with minimal form or with questioning traditional notions of function. Minimalist designers such as Donald Judd and Enzo Mari are examined in relation to the aesthetics of the research whilst designers like Verner Panton, Karim Rashid and Andrea Zittel are identified through a connection with the functional concerns of the project. The theatre and playground designs of Isamu Noguchi have also been an important influence on this project. The resulting furniture pieces produced through this research are conceptual experiments not only with the functional and aesthetic aspects of furniture but also experiments in a social sense. It is furniture that seeks and encourages interaction personally and publicly. By distorting, expanding and playing with accepted ideas of furniture this research produces pieces that defy direct recognition as furniture and create a playful ambiguity in both their form and utility.

▼ The origin of my thesis is the motion with which users interact with seating, how users interact with space progressively. In this thesis I explored and developed seating, a deep interest of mine that has been growing for the last several years. I worked as an interior designer for 3 years before studying woodworking and furniture design at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The experience undertaken by designing, drafting and engineering of space and furniture taught me a great deal. I realized that the function of furniture in some spaces is not just about simple function such as storage, or decoration. Furniture in the space addresses and defines the role of a space, and it becomes the other in that space. Furniture has evolved throughout the centuries. Furniture not only provides convenience but also gives a clear definition of the space's character, where it is placed. In other words, furniture plays the connecting role between a space and a human being. Seating is a kind of furniture closely related to people and is used more widely and in more ways than others. We spend a significant portion of our lives sitting. Consequently, our whole bodies are affected by it, physically and emotionally. I chose to investigate how a user's emotion relates to seating based on that physical relationship. The progression of my thesis has started from the motion to let users interact with the seating and space gradually. Most of my works are composed of multiple movable components that can be freely reconfigured by users in different ways. Through repositioning or combining separate components, users can create a variety of furnishings allowing static furniture to be dynamic and playful. The first thing I focused on was the physical characteristics of structure in free form motion. Each from has its own curve or round shapes from bending. Bending techniques helped me convey the "invisible" relationship between user and seating, the physical and psychological concepts behind my work. I was able to express my ideas and feelings in my works. The process of creating the seating, made me open to a new visual and technical point of view. Advisors/Committee Members: Tannen, Rich.

▼ The Earwitness endeavours to explore the sonic qualities of the city, the spaces that sounds occupy and possibilities of how these spaces can be inhabited. The ability of sound to travel around corners and through walls led to a process of urban exploration within the Pretoria Central Business District that identified a diverse range of ‘inbetween’ spaces that are not traditionally seen as inhabitable. The diversity of these spaces led to the development of an architectural strategy based upon the chair as a spatial device. Its ability to be interpreted on an individual level and employed in the widest range of scenarios makes the chair an ideal candidate to respond to the unique acoustic qualities of the spaces identified. The chair is thus seen as the earwitness to the acoustic qualities of the city and, through a process of transformation and mutation, begins to respond spatially to the personalities of the spaces encountered, taking on mythical personalities of its own. Through occupying the inbetween spaces of the city block, the chairs become a subversive inhabitant of the city – locating spaces that can be listened to. The investigation of the chair as a spatial device is grounded within a sonic festival scenario for the city of Pretoria that aims to re-establish the relationship between the user, sound and the spaces of the city. The festival is operated from a proposed infill typology that completes a more traditionally architectural element to the thesis, whilst maintaining the initial conceptual integrity of the exploration. The process of critical investigation and exploration followed in the thesis aims to reveal methods with which architectural-acoustic installations can promote user engagement with, and awareness, of the city. The Earwitness thus explores the fictions and fragments inherent in the experience of the city through probing the effects of audio culture and architecture. It hosts a set of curious confrontations between the field of the real and imaginary through a collection of quasi-cultural artefacts. These artefacts range from object to installation to event and engage the auditory aspects of the city – questioning the role of design in an immersive world in which freak mutations and mistakes are the norm, perhaps even the key, to success.

The design of a bathroom is no small task; it has many parameters that need to be addressed. One must consider the functional aspects as well as the practicality of the bathroom. Yet its aesthetics must not be overlooked. As a furniture designer and a craftsman I decided to challenge myself with the task of designing a bathroom. The goal was to create a unique setting for a bathroom, that evoked a positive emotional response from the user The sterile environment often found in today's bathrooms is not welcoming. Most rooms in a home are decorated to express the inhabitant's personal style. When decorating a house, close attention is paid to rooms such as living rooms and dining rooms, yet the bathroom, which is frequented more often than either of these rooms, tends to have a generic look. In The Essential Home Book, Getting Back To Basics, Terence Conran states, "Until the move towards more hygienic surfaces at the turn of the century, people tended to furnish their bathrooms much like other rooms in the house, with bathroom fixtures treated like pieces of furniture, often encased in fine dark woods such as mahogany. With the drive against dirt, the bathroom became rather less hospitable, with hard tiled surfaces and free-standing white cast-iron bathtubs."1 Through my extensive research I've come across several designers and architects who would tend to agree with my thoughts on this matter. They have attempted, as I have with this thesis, to challenge the conventional concept of what a bathroom is suppose to look like. The designs I've come across through my research range from the exotic to the minimalist. It seems everybody has their own view on what the ideal bathroom should look like. My ideal bathroom would be one which I could spend time in, forgetting the everyday worries and pressures of the outside world. A place of contemplation and privacy, where one can collect one's thoughts before starting their day and recapitulate them at the end of the day. The visual statement I chose to communicate in my design is one of comfort, elegance and serenity. Before delving into the design of this bathroom, it is important to take a look at the history of the bathroom and its role in human history. In view of the fact that what we consider a bathroom has only been in existence since the early 19th century. This will help us understand why the bathroom came to be what it is today.
