Articulation Assist Surface

Reconfigurable Surface

David Boira and I are working on translating our ideas from our reconfigurable furniture into a more specific architectural space by producing a wall and / or floor panel system.  These surfaces are designed to produce varying degrees of folding with real time articulation assist.  When panels are pushed or pulled, an electric actuator exerts force in the direction of the pull, making the hinged surface fold with no effort into shelves, tables, chairs, or whatever other arrangement one desires.
