One of the reasons I find this blog useful is that it allows you to put down ideas in their embryonic state; to throw something down on (virtual) paper and see what comes out, to produce a sort of sketch. \u00a0The sketch is a fitting analogy for this post, as it is an attempt to pin down some thoughts on drawing. \u00a0Specifically, I\u2019m intrigued by the idea of the drawing and the making of an object as the same thing. \u00a0This is not an unusual activity in itself, except that the objects in question are not two-dimensional paper-based matter, but three-dimensional forms, in which the free hand is not producing not prototypes, but the finished thing.<\/p>\n

Sketching out Front\u2019s\u00a0Sketch<\/em> furniture, 2005. \u00a0Photo: Front<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most well-known examples of this in recent years was of course Front\u2019s\u00a0Sketch<\/em>\u00a0furniture from 2005, in which the all-female Swedish design collective developed a way to translate free hand sketches into products. \u00a0As the much-viewed video<\/a> of the process show, they essentially mimed the act of drawing furniture shapes into mid air, which were then recored with motion-capture video and digitized into 3-D models, made material using a rapid prototyping machine.<\/p>\n
