This project delves into two design options: Pyramid and Wave Rattan pattern generation. The Pyramid approach involves systematically creating intricate two-dimensional patterns, refining them in the third dimension using weaving techniques, thereby enhancing the understanding of multidimensional pattern manipulation. The Wave design introduces a rattan object shaped like a flag for the ceiling, fulfilling the client’s need for visibility from diverse angles, particularly from the bed. This addition contributes a dynamic and visually appealing element to the overall space.

Inspiration & Pattern Generation

Option 1: Pyramid

In Option 1 Pyramid Design, systematic iterations produced intricate 2D patterns extended into the third dimension (Z-coordinate). Weaving methods like (0-1-1-0) and (0-1-0-1) enhanced pattern manipulation across multiple dimensions. 

Option 1: Pyramid 

Option 2: Wave

In Option 2 Wave Design, a rattan object resembling a flag acts as an elegant ceiling ornament. The client’s request for visibility, especially from the bed, enhances the space with a dynamic and visually appealing element.

Design & Details

Option 1: Pyramid

Based on the iterations conducted, the axonometric design of Option 1 Pyramid is composed of several 4x6 panels, totaling 24 panels arranged diagonally. 

Option 2: Wave

Based on the iterations conducted, the design of Option 2 Wave consists of 3 elongated panels locked along their length.
