MAIN PURPOSE: Hold a flexible lattice in its shell shape

The ring that turns the Gridshell Mesh into a bowl. Its 154 mm opening is smaller than the 220 mm lattice, so pushing the mesh in forces it into a shell, while the open floor lets the curve dip lower and crumbs fall through. The hoop alone also stands a round loaf or melon.

Shukhov Base

MAIN PURPOSE: Build a hyperboloid crock from straight skewers

The foot of a hyperboloid utensil crock. Stand bamboo skewers in every tooth gap round the rim and hold them with a rubber band, slip the Shukhov Collar over the top and twist it: the straight skewers lean into a waisted hyperboloid tower, the structure Shukhov used for his radio masts.

Shukhov Collar

MAIN PURPOSE: Twist straight skewers into a hyperboloid waist

The twisting top ring of the Shukhov crock. The skewer tips sit in its tooth gaps under a second rubber band; turn it against the base and the cage pinches into a hyperboloid waist, turn it back and the skewers stand straight as a cylinder, so you choose the silhouette.

Pilaster Chase

MAIN PURPOSE: Hide a wall cable behind a fluted pilaster

A cable cover disguised as a fluted classical pilaster. The TV or lamp cable runs down the wall inside the open back, the fluted face hides it, and the pieces stack end to end to any height, so a cable drop becomes a piece of period joinery you can paint to match the wall.

Shutter Board

MAIN PURPOSE: Hang hook earrings through louvre slots

An earring stand made like a pair of louvred shutters. Hook earrings straight through the horizontal louvre slots on the front and back faces, so every pair hangs at eye level, and the little sill tray at the foot catches studs, backs and the odd ring.

Sash Gallery

MAIN PURPOSE: Frame four instant photos as window panes

A sash window frame for four instant photos. Print it face down: the glazing bars divide four panes sized for Instax Wide pictures, the photos slide in from behind with their white borders tucked under the bars, and a hole in the top rail takes a picture hook so your views look out of a window.

Gabion End

MAIN PURPOSE: Hold books with a cage full of collected pebbles

A bookend that is a little gabion wall. Fill the open cage with pebbles from the beach, a river or a holiday: the stones become the weight that holds the books and stay on show through the grid, a way to keep and look at the finds that usually end up in a drawer.

Rosace

MAIN PURPOSE: Throw coloured light through window tracery

A window rose for sunlight. Tape coloured acetate or tissue behind the seven round lights, hang it on a thread in a sunny window, and the twelve-lobed tracery throws a pool of coloured light across the room as the sun moves, like a rose window in a small church.

Hypar Lamp

MAIN PURPOSE: Stretch fabric into a glowing saddle roof

A tensile lamp you finish with a scrap of stretch fabric. Two diagonal columns stand tall and two stay low; hook the corners of a square of old tights or lycra over the four tops and the fabric pulls into a saddle, a hyperbolic paraboloid like a tent roof, glowing over an LED puck on the floor.

MAIN PURPOSE: Compose a pavilion of sliding walls on a slotted deck

The floor slab of a tabletop pavilion kit. Six slots run in both directions across the deck: plug Free Plan Walls into whichever you like, lay the Free Plan Roof on their top tongues and you have a modernist pavilion with walls sliding past each other, a stage for rings, figures or a single treasure.
