Constructing a Vessel

CONSTRUCTING A VESSEL

For this project we were asked to create a wooden vessel to contain something of importance to us. The vessel that we design needed to be influenced by the object we chose to contain. After choosing our object and generating our final design idea we worked constantly in the woodworking shop using a band-saw, sanders and more. I chose to use music as my special “object” because it is very important to me and is one of my biggest hobbies. I used my iPhone that contains all of my music since music is not a physical, tangible object.  My vessel idea was to make an iPhone dock that was also an acoustic speaker. This way I could set my phone in the vessel and be able to amplify my music at the same time. 

CONCEPT STATEMENT

This portable acoustic speaker compliments the sleek and simple design of the iPhone to create an organic, aesthetically pleasing accommodation that naturally amplifies music.
