studio project

yes. i have a fascination with light. i don't know why. so my proposal for this furniture studio is to design a night stand that doubles as a night light. i would also like to create a night stand that allows the user to personalize their  bedtime ritual. what do i mean by that? 

in order to think about the design of my night stand, i thought about the basic things that people do before bed. 

-read

-write

-work on the computer

-listen to music

then i thought about the way that technology has influenced our bedtime rituals: 

-phone

-computer

-ihome or ipod alarm clocks

i want my night stand to be a surface that allows all of these activities to take place, as well as accommodate all the technological aspects of today's bedtime rituals. 

conclusion: a night stand that maybe has a surface that slides out so that you can use it as a surface for working on the computer or writing. 

compartments to keep books. 

compartments to charge phones and computers

spaces to hide wires 

also, a night light. 

yay. 

here are some of the sketches i've come up with. the are hard to read, sorry about that:
