Interior Design

"You have been asked to design the interior of a room in the Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel, choose an unique theme and build a model of your design."

The theme I chose for my room was Adventure Awaits. I wanted to create a space for adventurous travellers to experience an interactive room in the heart of Cape Town. I used line as the primary motive in my design, the repetition thereof creates rhythm and the illusion of height and freedom. I used zebra prints to incorporate an Africa theme.

The furniture is interactive and playful. Three sleeping spots are hidden, the room is thus suitable for 1 to 4 visitors. Another interactive element is the Map Wall. Each visitor is encouraged to pin the location on the map of where he/she is from. Therefore the room builds character with every visitor.

planning:

 

moodboard

final product - front view

I used ice cream sticks for the floor. For the rest I used carton and paper-maché.

Light design

This task was so create and make a lamp shade
The theme: celebrating 20 years of democracy

I wanted to portray the theme by using contrasting materials that should not fit together, but just do. Like democracy - different people, contrasting people, living together in harmony.

For the final product I braided straws and rope into mesh. Colouring the rope by soaking it in tea. It took hours, but looked nice in the end. I also braided rope around the electrical cord.
