Spatial Reasoning


When designing a piece of furniture Joe needs to account for the comfort of the end user as well as the logistics of delivering the furniture in his vehicle and through the entrances in a building.  With larger furniture pieces, delivery can present a challenge in the area of three dimensional reasoning.  By designing this 9’ long bench to nest upon itself and fit inside his Subaru, Joe saved the customer several hundred dollars in delivery fees.
