Found Objects is an open source design tool that transforms CNC wood-waste into a new building material. The tool creates unique components from the leftover sheet material in the CNC process: each component is generated to fill-in unused sheet-space before production begins. This means that while the exact shape of each component is unique – determined by whatever is being produced – the dimensions and general forms generated can be controlled: from organic and curvy to angular and geometric.
These prototypes – developed through a collaboration between Fiction Factory and designers Iñigo Puerta Uranga and Jesse Howard – showcase different techniques for working with Found Objects components: from the scale of a product, to furniture, to architectural installation. With them, we hope to inspire others to make use of the Found Objects tool and material in their own projects and creative processes.
