The House Factory

Mod Eco is the current pre-fab construction company in the middle of nowheres-ville Australia. If you've managed to get through the entire step by step slideshow of what we do there, then kudos. This shows the construction of our welded couch, nylon lamp, and other skullduggery that goes into making stuff just for the benefit of progressive design. The welded couch was made from the offcuts of the modular prefab construction process.

Mod Wall is a system of integrated storage modules that can be arrange in numerous iterations to accommodate any sized living situation. Mod wall can be arranged along an existing wall creating a storage, media area, or in the middle of a room as a dividing wall, with functions that can be engaged from all sides. Potentially can include bed, kitchen utility and more.

Sleeker Model

Same great styling as the previous model, but now with fins! Aren't you excited?? There is something vaguely deli-counteresque but it provides that much needed storage for trashy scifi novels and the beer can collection. You know you have them.

Storage Bed is a Hit

This one is going in to production. The bossman's cousin wanted a bed. I had it designed and sent to the joinery shop the next day. We are on the fast track and using all the tools of the era; 3D modeling, digital 3D files to the manufacturer and CNC production.

Now why can't this be done with the building industry?

3D business cards, photoshoot

For the folks that like to see things in action, these are the finished product for Furniture Gang. 'How to' instructions on the back, endless hours of paper-folding fun to follow. That is, if you haven't forgotten how to be a kid.

3d business cards

The idea is finally becoming a reality. They are getting printed as we speak to impress the folks at Furnitex and other Australian manufacturers. It's time to show the design community how we roll.

Beetle Back Enclosure

I had an image of a beetle form and decided it would make a cozy little pod. Maybe it could have some sweet hydraulic pistons to open the shell. Otherwise, the cool form without the creepy bits.

We'll continue to post ideas here and to use this site for Furniture Gang events.

Teeny Tiny House

I just had to make a stab at a tiny house. If you are not familiar check out: http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/.

Apparently people can't get enough of these mini houses/large doll house houses. It is also a sensible question to wonder how small a living space can be and still be enjoyable to live. This version is roughly 152 sq ft. I tried another version with 66 sq ft.

Fatwall 2

This is an alternate of a theme, see pre-furnathon 08 post of Australia inspiration. It is the idea of compressing all furniture into one space, sort of a Fifth Element space travel / sleeping in your chest of drawers concept.

Closet Puzzle

Closet puzzle: A sheet triplay pine 4'x8 '(3 / 4 ") again under the principle of zero waste.
