A pedestal bowl I designed, named Billet, will be a part of the home.office exhibition at Lovitt NYC in New York this weekend. The project sought to substitute the tenon of the bowl with a solid piece of anodized aluminum, the solidity permits the bowl’s cantilever and explores an unorthodox material union. To manage the wood’s movement over time, a rubber O-ring fits into a milled channel in the tenon, allowing for a glueless joint. by @maxwellfsims

An aluminum and felt hanging basket I designed. The aluminum rod was bent using a cheap hand bending tool into a hanger and hoop shape, which the felt basket slides over. A part of a group of objects designed with fabrication from home as the goal, for the @tccld with @designwith.ca. On view at @_central.gallery until the end of the week. taken in Chinatown Centre by @maxwellfsims

A collapsable cardstock tray I developed through a Mitacs grant with OCADU and Centre of Learning and Development. The aim was to find an application for curved paper folding. The tray quickly assembles with very thin magnets, and can be easily slipped inside a notebook when disassembled. Completed with the guidance of @raneeleedesign at @designwith.ca ⭐️ taken in Toronto, Ontario by @maxwellfsims
