Clippies was a small side project that I started working on at the end of graduate school and picked back up last summer. We launched a Kickstarter in October and successfully funded the project with over 1,500 pairs of Clippies sold!

Below you will find some of the media from the kickstarter.

Visit the website here to get a pair if you missed it.

Working with wood is such an elegant challenge wherein one must constantly balance aesthetics with function and form with strength.

I decided on a bent plywood design because of my love for Eames; I am proud to say that the first mold was a success and yielded a result that I was pleased with.

I hope someday in the future to work on another chair and carry forward the skills I gained in building the first.

I used foam to create the mold for the bent plywood back.
