Project Carbon investigates carbon fiber as a material for contemporary furniture, leveraging its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and high performance, typically valued in aerospace and automotive industries. The project explores translating these qualities into furniture that balances functionality with aesthetics. Through hands-on experimentation with mold-making, split-mold processes, and hand layup techniques, it addresses the technical challenges of shaping and finishing carbon fiber. The study demonstrates its potential to create lightweight, durable, and visually striking furniture pieces, highlighting how advanced composites can redefine modern design through innovation, minimalism, and material experimentation.
