Embossed Pattern for Acoustical Ceiling - I designed and developed this repeat embossing pattern for Architects and Interior Designers wanting to add some fun and whimsy to their space without overstepping. I refined and honed the pattern using virtual prototypes, and then cnc milled a prototype tool for prototype lab fabrication, and ultimately, laser etched a rubber roller for manufacturing plant trial runs. Concurrently, a new core was being developed as an alternative to cast and mineral wet felted technologies.
