Octopus Soap Holder
This project is inspired by the plywood bending techniques that Charles and Ray Eames devised.
The Vitra Eames Elephant was a product that the Eames created in their experimenting with plywood bending.
Exploring the idea of creating a 3 dimensional figure out of 2 dimensional material is the focus of this project.
Octopus
The animal that I had chosen to imitate for this project.
I always loved how mysterious, majestic, and alien the octopus is and I wanted to try to capture it in the way the Eames did
Sketches
These are my early Ideation sketches trying to learn what kind of forms I wanted to make
Paper models
Here are my explorations into 3D forms, trying to move closer to my final medium
Acrylic Models
After Paper I then moved to the final material and began doing experiments on it to test the limits
Final Iteration
