KATIE O'BRIEN DESIGN PORTFOLIO.
Fabric Pin Mover
The Fabric Pin mover contrasts craft and machine processes. The intention of this project is to create a mechanism that moves a draw pin a particular set of coordinates. I decided to take on a less mechanical aesthetic to this system. By handcrafting the cushions and felt, the mechanism contrasts the imperfections by hand vs the control of the machine.
Techniques and Tools:
Hand Stitching
Laser Cutting
Edge Banding
Motorized Electrical Circuitry
