Rocka:
Sound of Crooks
Non-Standardized Furniture for Children
Designed together with Jannik Gieler.
Supervised by Prof. Thomas Pearce and Mira Müller M.A.
Rocka is a children’s toy, made with cnc-milled wood that was collected in the forest.
It features three different sound elements children can play with to learn about music and rhythm.
It’s appearance focuses on symmetry and attractiveness to children as well as adults.
After designing on paper and in real life models, crooks were collected according to the intended shape.
The design was drawn in Rhinoceros 7 and milled later, using Fusion 360 to write the gcode.
Sound-elements all over the object encourage children to play, hear and experience their own sounds and rhythms.
Children can use resonating lips, textures and rattles that have been worked into the wooden structure.
