Bent Birdhouse
Designed for: Class - Product Design 3
This birdhouse was designed to be hand bent by the customer. The idea was to create a birdhouse that you could easily assemble without tools. The house is made out of carbon steel and as a result will gradually begin to wear and rust. The unique pattern of the rust that is created as the bird house interacts with nature is integral to the design.

Finding the Right Angles
The design of this house went through countless iterations adjusting the dwelling size as well as its outward appearance. The final design is based the birdhouse specifications for Wrens. This design was created for a product design course and was sold at the National Museum of industrial history in Bethlehem Pennsylvania.
