Cocoboard Material Production
After weeks of drying coconut husk and shell, the material is then chipped into a fine particle mixture, which is then combined with 5% adhesive. The amount of material used to press each board is calculated based upon the desired board thickness. The shredded coconut husk is then formed, with a steel template to emboss the pattern, and compressed in the hot-press machine for several minutes.

Construction: Furniture!
The tables and stools have been designed to stack and fit into the interior compartments of the main cart structure. They are composed of aluminum, to keep loads as lightweight as possible, with cocoboard surfaces.

Construction: Stainless Steel Frame
We are working with fabricators to create the main structure of our mobile space.

Pattern Application Selections
We applied our modified patterns to the plan and elevation of the cart, to create a patchwork of patterns. Drawings here.
