Hayley Stewart is an architectural designer with an passion for furniture design and recently teamed up with Six Gun Custom Drums to donate a custom coffee table to the Sea No Evil Art Benefit held this past weekend.
The Six Gun Table was created with the idea that scraps/byproducts of production are not waste but rather can be reconfigured into other useful design solutions with a little bit of thought. The design is assembled using three existing drum shells that are cut about their center axis’ and then routed along their rounded edge to interlock with three plywood shelves which slide through the slit, interlocking to be both functional and aesthetically satisfying. The shelves appear to float lightly between the balanced play of curves of the drum shells as though they were attached along a single axis’ instituting a rather strong structural system which allows for storage and support for the glass top. Six Gun lugs are then used to secure the table together enhancing the tectonics of the design. More Info and Images @DesignMilk

Artax Studio’s Paper Boat is a concept design of a yacht which is in the shape of a paper toy boat. The 55-foot yacht features a central cabin shaped in the form of a glass pyramid and a built-in cooking island in the middle, marking the the living rooms and surrounded by couches at each corner. The bulwark is collapsible and creates a ‘terrace on the sea’ look by folding down towards the water and extending the deck. A retractable swimming ladder is installed for those wanting a comfortable access to the sea.
