Sketches
Sketches of a few possible ways that pallet + innertube can come together.

Innertube used as a muscle to make a joint.

Peg through two blanks from pallet fixed in place using loop of innertube, a flexible rotating joint that returns to 90 degrees if no force is added.

seconds of rubber sheet / innertube cut up and threaded together to create a graphical flexible surface.

Material Experiments

Innertube holds slats of wood against a notched surface, allows the user to reconfigure the “legs” and allows for a customized surface.

Using Innertube as elastic muscle in this antromorphic leg.

Questions:
provides shock absorsion when sitting down? Feels like sitting on somebody? having a coffee with your chair? personality?

Pallets are made up of various woods that when cut and oiled come alive.

Cutting slats into wood brings control to a raw surface? provides a surface that wears quickly.

Things to think about

Do these experiments all talk about pallet and innertube?
Where are pallets and innertubes used?
What signifigance do these have as a recycled material?
Look at brands on pallet?
Can these experiments be pushed?
