.NB COSTA LOUNGE

Developed from ‘Costa’ minimal surfaces, this design incorporates sitting, lighting and storage into an elegant unit suitable for waiting lounges. Sleeves for magazines and newspapers are incorporated into the pads while a lighting fixture, placed in the central part of the structure, adds a glowing ambiance to the design.

The Costa minimal surface was plotted in Wolfram Mathematica, after which the geometry was imported into McNeel Rhinoceros for further manipulation.

The design allows for various plan layouts of the lounge system.

Great work!
I am always pleasantly surprised, seeing you turning old familiar (well to me at least) objects into new uses.

Great Work your concept looks very elegant , and the control you have over the surfaces its great it reminds me of a project i did some time ago using Wolfram Mathematica and playing with the enneper function.
