Exploratory study — form design for material and color evaluation
This project investigated how geometric form influences the perception of color and surface behavior when presenting polymer samples.
The objective was to develop a sample geometry capable of exposing both concave and convex surfaces, allowing color and finish to be evaluated consistently under varying light and shadow conditions.
The study progressed from dense, monolithic prototypes toward lighter, more stackable forms, testing trade-offs between visual clarity, handling, and practical use in sampling and distribution contexts.
The research focused on:
-
legibility of color across changing lighting conditions
-
impact of curvature on perceived depth and saturation
-
functional considerations such as stacking, transport, and handling
The project is presented as applied research into how form can be used as a tool to support more reliable material and color assessment.
