R1 Sketches

---

I made three initial form concepts: a square structure with cardboard panels and a central diffuser, a capsule-like shape with a wavy diffuser, and a rib cage-inspired design. The rib cage design was chosen for its more liminal and organic shape, aligning with the desired Contemporary + Organic aesthetic.

R2 Rough Prototyping

---

The initial prototype was a rough hand cut model that revealed key issues, including the placement of the diffuser and the need for a solution to lock the ribs or make the structure stand upright. These issues became the focal points for refining the design.
