Stemming from an interest in structural foam, this project presents a cloud like form in which the interior has a private and imaginative atmosphere that contrasts with the clean external skin made from Japanese paper. The intent is to create an unexpected environmental experience that detaches the user from his or her surroundings while their “head is in the clouds”.

 

Playing off the Google Cloud, iCloud, and recent technology there are technological plug-ins that feed through the pipes and tubes to keep the person’s necessary working tools near by and floating in a close proximity.

 

Using foam allows for the structural system to be embedded while the plug-ins are interchangeable due to their need to be updated. It also allows for the creation of various effects that play with the senses. The cloud combines the person’s atmospheric euphoria with his or her need to be productive.

 

The work space is a comment on the marketing approach of technology companies and the constant presence that technology has in everyone’s life. It is a physical cartoon version of the many aspects the make up the invisible and technological cloud.
