Prototyping
One of the most important aspects of our work involves prototyping, which is crucial for kinetic and interactive movement-based pieces that make use of technology. In our studio we test ideas to find solutions. At Basile we can design, prototype, and build in-house, thus streamlining the concept-to-product process. An example of this involved designing a liquor shelving system to maximize storage while making it easily accessible to the staff. Our solution was to hang shelves above a bar that pivot down like a drawbridge, triggered by specific hand signals from the staff. It was a successful team effort.
We spit-balled crazy ideas and discovered solutions from within our team of talented fabricators, engineers, designers and techs—everyone contributed to the final product.
Prototyping is key to our success; it gets us to a workable and functional piece of design that’s also visually engaging. At the end of the day, ‘we build cool shit’ and create the spaces that dreams are made of.
