Draped Console is the result of an ongoing research project exploring the intersection between digital tools and handcrafted techniques.

The choice to explore the motif of drapery stems from a core statement: digital technologies — both additive and subtractive — offer an expanded formal spectrum. This potential calls for a reconciliation between the language of industry and the legacy of art history, opening up new expressive territories for contemporary design.
