Vinyl furniture ready to install

Thibaut Devulder

The sitting bench of the new “vinyl corner”, and the modular shelving components behind it, ready for installation in the Kroloftet workshop

This integrated shelving and bench was fabricated in our wood workshop in Kroloftet by the talented people at Møbelsnekker Mellonie.

The fabrication was based on our detailed 3D model of the furniture, which was not only used to develop the design with our clients, but also to visualise it and to generate all necessary cutting lists and material bills to produce the furniture.

This integrated workflow makes it easy to design and fabricate built-in furniture that are perfectly tailored to our clients’ needs, allowing fast track design, cost-effective materials procurement, skilful production in our wood workshop and, finally, smooth installation on site by experienced professionals.

Can custom-made furniture help you make the most of every square meters in your home?

Let's explore ideas together!

Prototyping with the CNC router

Thibaut Devulder

We have now access to an amazing CNC router at our new office space at Kroloftet. I tested it today for the first time, initially to fabricate some simple wooden gears for a homemade “analog music sequencer” I am developing for our next Ooo-Ya-Tsu art project (more in this later…)

The wooden gears, cut on the CNC router, with MIDI music “encoded” into grooves on the right

These gears were modelled in SketchUp and imported into AutoDesk Fusion, before being sent to the CNC router for fabrication. The geometry for the round grooves on one of the large gears was generated by a computer program I coded in Processing that reads musical MIDI files and convert them into 3D shapes, which can then can be grooved into the gears, effectively “encoding” the music into the wood. Fairly simple to start with, but it worked, so on with the prototyping!

Many thanks to Peter Magnus, expert digital fabricator at Kroloftet, for the heads up on using this amazing machine!
