Frame Moebel is a creative course that explored the possibilities of bespoke space frame structures for furniture design. Over the course of three weeks, students team up in groups of two to develop form-finding algorithms for space-frame table designs and explore parametrically the formal and aesthetic possibilities of additive manufactured joints.

​

Some areas of exploration include super lightweight structures, material gradients, structural gradients for flexible forms, hyper-redundant mesh structures, spring models, and machine learning. Prototyping of full-scale nodes took place in 3d printers, which were assembled by the students.

​

By the end of the course, each team fabricated a full-scale model of their table design, showcasing a variety of possible forms and geometrical ingenuity in the design of the connections.
