Tuft Bench
Carlo Urmy
Spring 2013
Personal project
maple, cherry, steel
An early 3D modeling project, and
my rst project CNC machining soft
textures in wood. The bench was
shown as part of The Making Of...
series at SFMOMA, May 2013.

Tuft Stools
Carlo Urmy
Summer 2013
Personal project
maple, cherry, steel
Intended as part of a small furniture
line along with the Tuft Bench, these
were my second project using CNC
machining to create upholstered
forms in wood. The two stools were
built in sequence to allow for im-
provements to the fabrication pro-
cess while maintaining the same
essential design.

Cofee Table
Carlo Urmy
Summer 2010
Personal project
maple, walnut
My rst project using traditional
mortise-and-tenon joinery, created
as part of a workshop taught by John
Dunnigan at the Haystack Mountain
School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine.

Karesansui Tile Prototype
Carlo Urmy
Fall 2013
Personal project
cast concrete
Inspired by Japanese rock gardens, I
created a set of two tiles that can be
used to create complex textures and
directional systems, while providing
traction and drainage for water. This
piece reects an ongoing interest in
using CNC machines in conjunction
with cast media.

Bad Map
Carlo Urmy
Fall 2013
Personal project
polyester resin, dyed walnut, paper.
Based on census data, I created a
topography mapping median income
across San Francisco. Using a CNC
machined positive, I cast the topogra-
phy in clear polyester resin to create
a refracting lens that presents data
while simultaneously impeding its
own interpretation. Instead of prom-
ising immediate comprehension, the
map demands careful, deliberate
reading using both sight and touch.

Pterodactyl
Carlo Urmy
Fall 2012
Personal project
plywood, aluminum, cardboard, foam,
canvas.
Competition entry in the Red Bull
Flugtag competition. Teams were
asked to design and build human-
powered gliders to be launched
of of a pier into the San Francisco
Bay, with scoring based on distance
traveled and creativity of design. The
glider was designed and fabricat-
ed collectively by myself, Joe Tocci,
Conor Landenberger, Ryan Spurlock,
and Laura Stevenson, and was spon-
sored by TechShop San Francisco
and Autodesk.
