case piece :: pantry

this is just a snippet of my final studio project. we each designed a customized case piece for the space. mine was a pantry. it has a pentagonal shape with a tv, cabinet for ipod dock, and dry-erase board on the exterior. because of brother ali's hip-hop background, i felt the music and tv were important to make the space feel personalized.

our final project in studio is to design a residential kitchen for a celebrity. my client is brother ali and i chose a geode for my concept. i felt this fit him because he has two sides [hip-hop artist vs. family man]. the center of a geode is bright, bold, and unexpected, all qualities that i find in brother ali after researching him.
