Use of curvature and grain of ply to further highlight form.
Use of Pieces to frame the central joinery throughout the design.
Bloom Vessel Assembly.
Developed as part of a Digital Craft Module. This vessel takes inspiration from Burial Pods. It was designed and fabricated using Rhinoceros3D, Bongo and CNC to develop tectonic designs and create the finished product utilizing solely Japanese Joinery Principles to construct the Bloom Vessel.

The design also considers other aspects of design such as finishing types in relation to the burial pod inspiration and the need to maintain purity to avoid chemical pollution of the ground. This resulted in the use of linseed oil as a finish. This Vessel then fed into the design of the Cathedral for Death.
