The primary purpose of this thesis is to find a set of design problems to challenge and create furniture that addresses and solves the unique problems presented. I am inspired to find a problem, draft, design and make a solution is all motivated by my ability to just be able to do it. That of being able to accomplish the task, with a prime motivation being I can tackle this challenge and it will be fun.
The work my thesis focuses on is making furniture that encapsulates the three main aspects of tabletop wargames, that of Assemble, Play, Display. Additionally addressing the hobby of tabletop wargaming, a display and convergence of different accumulated experiences, objects and skills. Tabletop wargaming is an assembly of likeminded people in the pursuit of engaging in the act of playing a tabletop game together. A coalescence of expressing one self through a communal activity. My work is a means to facilitate the aspects of tabletop wargames through furniture.
