SOFTlab How Sweet It Is

SOFTlab recently completed design and production work for the interior of the new bakery How Sweet It Is in the Lower East Side. Studio DB (who designed the overall space) approached us about creating a flower themed pattern for the ceiling and backwall. We scripted simple ‘pattern’ generation machines which allowed us to very quickly visualize multiple options in a very short amount of time. The pattern was then CNC milled out of three different depths in whitewashed plywood at Mackinnon-Tompkins and installed by Studio DB.

Scripted by Purpose v.3.0

scripted by purpose

We made it back yesterday from the Scripted by Purpose exhibition opening. The place was jam-packed with people, a sign that it *might* have been a successful exhibit. It was definitely an interesting sample of digital work, made even more interesting by the fact that ALMOST everyone who showed stuff actually DOES the work. It was also good to see (a sampling) of the new generation of scripting gurus together.

Something I would’ve liked to see more though, is real-world implementation of some of these systems. A lot of it was the standard year 2000 digital-exploration type of stuff that just doesn’t get resolved.. It is still very interesting, but only a few people showed how these systems can be translated to physical form, and they did quite successfully, with even more interesting results.
