Private Residence at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta Greater Area.

Project scopes: modeling, layout, and digital visualization.

The design is a very typical taste of Jakartanese. So called minimalism, this interior concept is just combining artificial wood -using laminated paper-, and all the types and colors were decided by costumer. It is interesting to see how designers is not taking a major role in interior-based project nowadays, as they tend to rely a good renderings by visualizer, as well as leave the design decisions to their clients. :)

Agape, a well known carpentry firm, needed a help from a visualizer to interpret client’s dream into realistic concepts. My role is to take advantage of CAD software, thus created a digital renderings used as proposals for their clients. :)

Prototyping

Project scope: initial idea, concept, CAD, prototyping, realization (WIP).

Prototyping is a crucial stage of product realization, before it reaches manufacturing phase. It is a stage where design is validated and evaluated before handed over into production. A prototype should represent final and manufactured ready product, and if possible it should be done with same process as final product.

In this test case, we just finished a prototype for an office chair back. It was a countless hours of works to develop this back, start from sketches, steel mock up, 3D‐model, and finally this prototype. Chair’s back frame was designed and developed with Rhino 3D and T‐Splines software packages. The original file was exported into IGES format, and refined with Pro/E for later CAM‐purpose. Prototype was made with ABS‐plastic, and painted in black. It was processed with four axis CNC machine, in same scale with final product.

It costs USD 800, and took two weeks to complete.

Many critical points evaluated from our prototype, such as:

  1. Checking whether the mesh fabric could be attached correctly ;
  2. Basic ergonomic testing ;
  3. Technical testing for joined components and whether or not components could be assembled correctly ;
  4. Visual study of proportion, shape, texture, and details.

Within this stage, we are happy with the prototype. It represents our preliminary idea, and it does look better than any of our sketches, scaled models, or renderings. We could feel the contour, check the curvatures, and better judge the aesthetic appearance.

Residence 28

Project scope: digital visualization.

Collaboration with DE Hartanto, senior interior designer, for client lives in Residence 28 - Kedoya, Jakarta.

Basic modern and minimalism concept implies in this design, by combining geometric shapes with natural wood. This project scopes living room, dining room, and bedrooms. Exposed white bricks cover all the wall combined with pine wood planks for ceiling and floor.

Same materials for floor and ceiling gives a unique home ambient in every room. A harmonious combination, in a simplest way.

The project covered complete design, visualization, and fabrication. All spaces are covered including bedrooms, living room, dining area, and kitchen.

This project was completed in six months. :)

Bulbo and Orion Project scopes: ideas, design, CAD modeling, visualization, and 3D print file. Contest: Peeters and Pichal Design Challenge 2011. Soothes the soul, when you know the egg-bulb is eatable. :) Bulbo -3D printed egg holder-, helps you start the day with best ideas. Extra dried parsley available. :) The idea of Bulbo came from lamp fitting. Instead of fitting a bulb on it, it fits a boiled egg (and could only served perfectly boiled egg). It is made by Poly Amide plastic, with 3D printing process. Bulbo model was completely done with Rhino, and rendered using V-Ray for Rhino. If you’d like to have a copy of Bulbo, it is now available at Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/model/362786/. Orion is an experimental design of egg holder with scan feature. It detects whether the egg is good or not. The shape was inspired by alien spaceship, and has a “stethoscope” as an examiner tool for the egg. :)

Chair Lab

Project scopes: ideas, concept, design, CAD modeling, and visualization.

Chair lab series were designed in 2010. These series were experimental design for contest and modeling practice:

  1. Zyx: experimental office chair, low back and intuitive. Entry for Rhino Area Forum design challenge :) ;
  2. Betawi: remodeled from traditional Betawi wooden chair. This chair offered a classic concept in a modern-contemporary look ;
  3. Betawi Table: pair for Betawi chair. It has two colors, each for top and leg ;
  4. Tourteau: experimental chair, made from plastic injection (the idea was inspired by crab :) ) ;
  5. BoGG: stupid outdoor sofa, with unique weaving and comfy thick cushion ;
  6. Moll: multi-purpose chair for McDonalds. This chair was proposed for McDonalds franchise restaurant in Indonesia. It has a flawless metal frame, combined with plastic shell for seat  ;
  7. Vero: Boss’ idea. It was designed as a multi-purpose chair with plastic shell as seat and back, with structural frame made from metal pipe. The model was done in a day, and rendered with cartoon material in V-Ray for Rhino :) ;
  8. Xeon: early T-Splines model. It was my first attempt to study T-Splines. It solved three connected pipe (which most probably will give us headache if it is done only in Rhino), in x, y, and z direction smoothly. The concept was very simple, as it uses mesh for seat and back support ;

Enjoy. :)

WayGo  was an entry for T-Splines Design Contest 2011: Make the World a Better Place.

Abstract

WayGo Project was started in summer 2007, assessed as test case for product design five during schools. The theme was how to revitalize Sundanese culture in modern world.

Preliminary research indicated about ninety seven percent (97%) children aged seven to twelve had no recognition to Golek either in substance, nor general knowledge.

WayGo was designed as tools for introducing Golek Puppet for children. It was expected, with this tools, they would obtain better understanding about Indonesian local culture.

Keywords: Toys, Revitalization.

Elaboration with Contest

T-Splines 2011 Contest theme was set: “Design for a Better World”. This revitalization project, could be considered as action to conserve historic legacy for next generation.

Design Process

Within design process, strategic steps were set to adjust characteristic, system, and visual appearance. Golek is strongly influenced with its unique semiotics. Every visual aspects have their own meaning. Red color on Cepot’s face (one of Golek famous character), meant aggressive and angry character.

WayGo’s design methods were derived as compromise phase, visual simplification, and trend fusion.

Compromise phase needed to define what visual aspects will be carried over, what systems should be developed, and what semiotics would be taken into new design.

Visual simplification was a phase in reducing visual complexity within traditional Golek Puppet. Main purpose of this simplification was to let children had better understanding, without being too distracted by its visual complexity.

Trend fusion was done by melting current trends with traditional values lied within Golek.

Test Case

Based on research, most popular Golek’s character should be Cepot, for sixty four percent (64%). Gatotkaca came second with twenty two percent (22%).

Within this case, Gatotkaca was developed further, as he represents a hero (which most likely kids would love so much).

He is like Superman in traditional Golek stories.

Compromise phase within this character was done by still representing green color in his face. His heroic character was also being supported by giving him a complete set of weapons, spear with integrated shield and a bazooka-arm full with arsenals.

Visual simplification reduced ornaments in his face. As this would also simplifies production process. Simplification would give children better recognition for this character.

Trend fusion by joining kids trend now who really love heroic character. As well as Gatotkaca, weapon additions and ability to be played exactly as Golek Puppet were implementation of this tools.

Product Innovations

Some innovations within these product could be described as:

  1. Could be operated as action figure, golek puppet, and diorama ;
  2. Made from safe colored Polypropylene ;
  3. Could be re-assembled easily, with ball-joints for free and better movements ;
  4. Used as educational toys, as well as interactive culture media.

Modeling with T-Splines

Modeling was done in Rhino with T-Splines for Rhino 3.0 Plug-In.

Started with caging to define overall dimension, and created solid quad-ball primitive (new addition in 3.0 version) for body, hip, legs, and arms.

Further details were added by manipulating faces, edges, and verts, until desired shapes achieved.

After T-Splines modeling steps finished, next detailing steps were done in Rhinoceros with its native commands like project, split, surface offsetting, and surface blending.

At the end of modeling phase, files were split into two different types. First file was intended for CAD/CAM purpose, with strict geometry validation. Second file was intended for visualization-related purpose. Some surfaces were extracted to have various colors applied. As final product, visual appearance could be achieved by paintings or stickers.

CAD data for machining must pass validation process for geometries. Bad object and naked edges should be cleared, in order to make the data printable or machine able.

Further Direction

WayGo project could be widely developed, and not only ends as just a product. Games apps, and other visual campaigns could also be made as a supportive actions for culture revitalization purpose.

Diavolo Judges Quote: “This was an example of design taking advantage of the capabilities of T-Splines without the designer succumbing of letting TS dictate the design. A good, humorous, and completely plausible design.” In summer 2010, T-Splines held a contest for their users with theme “Model Your Organic Design in CAD.” I had two entries for the competition. First is the Diavolo Chair, and second is Meriva Office Chair. T-Splines held this contest to gather the community, and to see how advance the software really is. Started with a very rough idea to design a unique chair. I sketched Diavolo Chair on a piece of paper, and strictly model them in Rhino. From the first time, I know that it is almost an impossible job to finish this design entirely with Rhino. Of course, Rhino has a lot of surfacing commands like loft, patch, sweep 1 and 2, and blend, but this surface is so complicated, and it could take weeks to complete. And with some rhino disadvantages of surface joining, I could trap into many naked edges, so the models would not be watertight to be printed in 3D. So, I simply pick T-Splines to make the basic surface, and mix it with Rhino for some geometric shape (of the legs and glides). Back to the idea of the chair, devil is a representation of an “evil, bad, or anything coincide with darkness, fear, cruelty, and a lot of other nasty things. And horns are just a great semantic that precisely represent a visual meanings of a devil. The idea is to design something that quite aesthetic, hence represent some critics in other side.  This design said that we have something bad lies within our self. So, we deserve to sit in this “devil chair”, regardless what job we have. Politicians, lawyers, designers, architects, we are a devil in some way. Representing fun image in this design, bright and fancy colors are chosen. Basically there colors will be divided based on components. The horn, evil laugh, glide, and tensile fabric should have the same color. Combined with a single main frame color. Joining parts consist of one typed customized bolt. Materials for the body would be Injected Polypropylene with tubular pipe to connect the seat and back. On the seat, attached high tensile stretch fabric,batyline® to hold the bodyweight.  Legs made of chromed SPCC metal, solid pipe with 12 mm diameter.  Diavolo® Chair comes in two varies: the quad base legs (with self height adjustment), and the standard legs (look for the glides). The chair can be functioned as a multipurpose one. Whether in a conference room, café, office, dining, or other space.  Horns can be used to hang jackets, or purse. Several weeks after the judging, ZCorp decide to print one of the chair. Full article available in this link.

Bev Project scopes: ideas, design, CAD modeling, and visualization. Bev was an sentry for Materialise Design Challenge 2010. Bev-Lamp uses honeycomb structure, wrapped in a cylindrical form. This was my first case on simple morphogenesis, using a simple “flow along surface” technique. The idea of the lamp, as this will be printed in 3D would be taking advantage from the process itself: no limitations of shape. Bev-Lamp has a “hollow-core” which allows the thin wires to reach the LED to transmit electricity. Since this lamp would not be prototyped, I decide to “simulate” the lighting effect with V-Ray for Rhino and Photoshop. Original render was done by V-Ray, and for the lights effect, I simply used lens-flares effect to turn on the lights. BevLamp submitted as an entry for i-Materialise Design Challenge for Rhinoceros users worldwide.
