Bubbles is a light hearted interpretation of blowing bubbles. The push & pull of the table surface represents each individual bubble as they would be as a 5 bubble grouping. The frame's suspended tension adds a dynamic element to the table. The tension is designed to add movement to the table. Bubbles exists because it is fun to live with! The need is notice objects we life with on a daily basis, perhaps bring a smile into someone's life. The challenge was to bring attention to a type of object that's overlooked everyday on our lives. The result was to capture an organically formed 3 dimensional bubble grouping into an actual product. The strategy was to organize the shapes in a primary, secondary, and tertiary groupings to define the plane visually. The second step of the strategy was to decide on which areas to push and pull for maximum effect.
