Song gi and I are working on our first collaborative project together. When I was living in Montreal I learned the very basics of upholstery from Sarah Hanneman so SG and I wanted to make a couch together. He's building (and designing) the frame out of wood (not done yet) and I designed the fabric. He helped me silkscreen it and is helping with the upholstery. So far we have the base of the couch done with all the springs and webbing attatched and the fabric silkscreened. There's a lot more work to do so we'll do that little by little this year.
The pattern is based on the zodiac constellations and there are a few others too. I've been really interested in constellations lately and the Greek myth they were derived from. The couch frame is going to have a very rounded back and arms, I want it to feel like a planetarium.
I don't have photos of the springing work right now but I'll take some this weekend when I visit Kyoto.
