Mohawk was presented with a triangular freestanding display concept that was unique in it's graceful curved forms. The problem was how to manufacture the display while maintaining it's distinctive style.

 

The solution was to use curved flat panels that fit into slotted flat wood surfaces. The heavy ceramic tile product required a steel structure for support. It's center post joined a steel tube frame concealed in the base.

 

Setting up the 3-dimensional computer flies for automated manufacture was accomplished by using the Solidworks program to "flatten" the curves and generate accurate full size patterns.
