On the laser cutter, I made a stencil for a print inspired by Oscar Niemeyer’s works.

Testing it out in my dorm!

I started this project out by trying to find a solution on how to store my vinyls. I didn’t just want to build generic shelves so I decided to play with the concept of making something solid/stable out of a shape that didn’t look like it. While sketching out my ideas, I noticed the way vinyls slanted and therefore came up with a shelf that would mimic this incline. I’m really happy with the final outcome, particularly with how the shelves interact with each other. I chose not to attach them in order to be able to arrange them in different ways. I also think each of the shelves’ colors really go well with each other and enforce the idea that while the individual shelves aren’t connected, they come together to form a cohesive piece of furniture.

I painted them white before deciding to paint each of them different colors and cut out some poplar to cover the plywood edges.

Testing out the different positions the shelves can be arranged in.
