Pond Mirror
Generatively designed to emulate bodies of water, the Pond Mirror is surrounded by a bent-laminated solid oak frame.

A custom toolchain generates digital templates for a set of bending forms, which are then used to create the solid oak frame, along with a template for the mirror itself. Unfortunately the bent-lamination process was found to be quite wasteful as each generated design required a new set of bending forms to be made. Future research should investigate other modes of production not dependent on physical templates.
