Kai Ming Yang, IDSA’s recent design project, the “Stacking Console,” prompts viewers to rethink the essence of everyday objects.
The Stacking Console, a fusion of craftsmanship and artistry, draws inspiration from wood joinery, traditionally employed in construction. By utilizing bent aluminum in unique stacking forms, this console showcases the innate logic and aesthetic of the material. Characterized by its minimalistic design and patterns, the aluminum console seamlessly embodies qualities of logic and tranquility.
