Chassie is a furniture studio in the Bronx that specializes in making custom desks and tables. It is headed by Andrew and Jane Daines who are the brains and muscle behind the studio.
During early 2020, Chassie put out a call for local artists to create custom Designs for their series of Artists Desks that would be sold with the launch of their website. With 15 local artists and designers from across NYC we each created an original design for a one of a kind custom desk.
While the brief for the design was very open ended I wanted to explore geometric pattern design as we had to keep our artwork in vector format. After starting with these interlocking paths created by rectangles, the grid reminded me of circuits and video games. I then kept with a very bright and retro color pallet and repetitive shapes following the path to make my design. The process was more of just trying out how elements could stack and overlap rather than a clear final vision. But after seeing my final artwork, I was very happy with it.
