Cotton Spate
Cotton Spate is a display console designed for a pop-up store. The console presents a small number of products so that attention stays on each item. Its form is inspired by fields of organic Pima cotton flowers, which grow beside a lake in Peru. A white three-dimensional wavy surface holds thin circular metal plates that carry the items. The wavy part is high-density foam shaped by hand from a computer model, and the plates are white painted metal. The counter and the outer enclosure are made of wood. Storage space is placed under the wavy surface.
