Bradley Marks: Laptop Table
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 09.26.07
Students at The Ryerson University School of Interior Design in Toronto, Canada were asked to design a piece of furniture out of a single 4 x4 sheet of baltic birch plywood. These wowed the crowd at the Interior Design Show this spring; We thought it a wonderful opportunity to present the work of these talented young designers as downloadable designs. So far as we know, none are in production, but that might change....
Ryerson University School of Interior Design Student Bradley Marks says:
Table as sculpture was the driving force behind the constructivist inspired cantilevered piece. Line and forms transform depending on the perspective from which the table is seen. In certain instances planar elements dominate, in others linear, while in some a false sense of mass is created, The strong colour was used both to unify and to lead the viewer's eye around and through the table's various components.Please enjoy.
Bradley grew up Thornhill, Ontario just north of Toronto. Having attended numerous art schools in his grade school years he developed a love of architecture and all things design. His post-secondary education began at McGill University where he attained a degree in Political Science. Following his graduation Bradley moved to London, England where he became reacquainted with his love for art, architecture, and design. While abroad Bradley decided to pursue studies in this field and upon return to Canada commenced a second degree in Interior Design at Ryerson University. He is currently in his third year of the program.
