 2D Design - Laser Cut

REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT: SELECTION This week we were tasked with finding three objects that we could dissect to examine the individual parts for possible 3D modelling. The three objects that I decided to go with are pencil sharpeners, a pen, and an iPhone case. The chosen objects can be seen below:

Objective : Taking inspiration from one or more surface design(s) we find (in the real world!), create a geometric surface design sample using 2D tools explored in Rhino. Patterns in the wild : The patterns are taken from clothing and bedding that I found as I thought that would be the easiest way to find multiple examples of patterns. The patterns that inspired my design: The patterns that I chose to use for inspiration for my design are the two seen below. Both of the designs are very intricate and luxurious and could be seen on something as simple as bedding, or something as fancy as a designer product.  My design: My design draws directly from the original designs for the individual components, and then I just arranged the different designs into a grid to create a repeating pattern. My refined design could be seen on very similar surfaces to that of the original (bedspreads, clothing, fabric, bandanas, flooring, etc). The design could even be seen in designer brands if differen...
