Reconstructed Sleeve Top Garment Design Made entirely from the sleeves of a long-sleeve linen button-down shirt I had cut apart, this top was built around the idea of reusing the metal details from the elbow tabs (gauntlet button?). There was no actual inspiration other than the fact that I figured I could use those tabs, flipped onto the chest to resemble nipple piercings. Most of the structure comes from the shirt’s wrists and cuffs. Ashtray Storage Box Object Design Crafted entirely from a single block of poplar wood, this hand-carved ashtray combines natural material with functional design. The removable lid is thoughtfully designed to serve as a standalone ashtray. Finished with a custom stain to attain a rustic look while still allowing the natural grain to show through. Pasta Shaping Board Object Design Hand-carved from solid oak wood, this pasta board features a textured speckled carving at the top for added detail and grip, along with patterns along the lower half. Designed for making pasta as well as serving cheese or small foods.
