MONO, 2006

fiberglass, steel, felt
MONO is an ergonomic family of chairs with elegant curves. The thin felt covered shell floats above a single steel rod that winds itself into four legs. MONO proudly wears non's logo on a brightly colored embroidered tag.







TOPO, 2006
design: Scott J. Franklin
Corian, Styrene, CR Steel
We got tired of perfectly flat tables so we made this series called TOPO. Plastic inserts formed over rocks drop into the table to form functional little landscapes.





paper exhibit, 2005
design: Scott J. Franklin
flame retardant paper, glue, servos, conduit, styrofoam, LEDs, vibrating motors
The objective of this exhibit was to create a breathing organism that would envelop the projects and viewers inside. Large bands of freshly made honeycomb were attached to a kinetic infrastructure that was suspended from the ceiling of the senior studio at Art Center. Wire-cut stryofoam "organs" were placed throughout the space. Touch sensors were located on both the organs and throughout the honeycomb, which communicated with each other through a microprocessor. When someone picked up an organ, the ceiling would contract like an intestine. Inversely when sensors on the honeycomb were touched, the organs would shake and illuminate. This created a cycle of interaction between the space and the objects and people within it.





MITOSIS, 2005
design: Scott Franklin + Miao Miao
1,000- LEDs, Plastic Dipped Capsules
Inspired by images of cells replicating under microscopes, Mitosis is a piece that is always changing. Strands of plastic capsules illuminate when touched once and return to their off state when touched again. Users press, swipe or lean against the surface to make patterns and impressions made of pixels of light.
