Thesis Statement

The average desk organizer is functional; some have some aesthetics but not the best of both worlds. Most desk organizers don't make you second guess how it works while still being somewhat functional. When your desk is messy and your table is boring it can make it hard to get stuff done. This project is designed to solve all your desk-related issues while still looking modern and unique. It emphasizes negative space and is minimal to make it feel like it's not even there. It uses tensegrity to achieve that, it is made out of 1/8th inch laser cut plywood to give it a nice finish, and has a large base for stability.

Precedents

Kurilpa Bridge

I wanted to capture how a tensegrity structure makes you think twice about how it is made

Modern Planter

I like how these modern planters emphasize negative space.

Tensegrity Structure

I want to capture how a tensegrity structure makes you think twice and I tried to use a lesser-known type of tensegrity structure so I decided to use a 3 Strut Structure.
