Certain Rain
2024 - Ongoing

I founded my design practice Certain Rain in the spring of 2024.

It was initially conceived as an experiment, to learn and experience the process of bringing a design to market. Rather than pursuing a post-graduate degree in Industial Design, I opted to take a hands-on approach. I covered all aspects of operating the studio: design, prototyping, manufacturing, assembly, marketing and documentation.

After two years, I’ve developed an efficient infastructure for manufacturing my designs. Early on, I discovered that laser-cut sheet metal was a highly flexible and affordable process for manufacturing a material that I was interested in: sheet metal.
Sheet-metal is a traditionally utilitarian material, used typically for structural and non-ornamental purposes. It is accessible both from a design and economic perspective. Manufacturering is fast, inexpensive, and flexible for production of low-volume orders.
