Paul Gower is a Brooklyn based industrial and furniture designer originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. Paul received his BFA in furniture and industrial design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, GA. Paul believes that a product should not only be functional and attractive but also be fabricated in the most efficient way possible. Economy of materials and streamlined manufacturing are benchmarks of great design. 
This lamp was rapid prototyped in ABS plastic. The 3D model was created in Solidworks. The lamp consists of 64 independent moving parts that were printed fully integrated. These moving parts can be positioned in an infinite number of shade configurations.
The IDSA (Industrial Design Society of America) featured this lamp in the Spring 2007 issue of the design magazine INNOVATIONS.
Tolerances between moving parts were .012 inch. This pushed the boundary of what the FDM prototyper is capable of printing. Consistent spacing between parts allowed the secondary starch material to be printed between the parts as a scaffolding. I created these close tolerances to make the fit between parts tight, so the shades are movable and positionable.

Highly durable, breathable, waterproof ibook case designed for the outdoors. Breathable waterproof fabric protects laptop from the elements and the hard shell acts as a ventilation breezeway. Laptop stays cool, dry and comfortable. D rings are located on sides for shoulder strap.
Exploration into different ventilation systems and configurations lead me to Gore brand ventilation membranes. These membranes are water and oil resistant while still allowing air flow.
Protective neoprene flap doubles as a mouse pad. Zipper pouch holds notebook and accessories.

Rapid prototyping is quickly becoming the standard in industrial design. With tools like FDM printer, designers and engineers can turn computer models into exacting full-scale prototypes. The FDM printer also allows complicated mechanical components to be created within other components. With this in mind I sought to create a lamp that would be nearly impossible to create without the assistance of the FDM printer.
The shade is comprised of two shells, one printed permanently inside the other. The interior shell is fixed to the lamp base while the exterior shell is able to spin freely.
This design was inspired by a zoetrope, that fascinated me as a child. A wide cylinder with slots cut in it spins to create a short animation of your own design. The exterior shell spins freely with the help of 24 ball bearings. All ball bearings were printed with 0.01” tolerance.
I took special care to conceal the base of the bulb fixture within the shade. This was done by inserting the mounting ring 1.5” from the base of the shade.
When the lamp is in motion a mesmerizing light show is created as beams of light ripple like flames.
Production engineering and CNC programming for Wonk Furniture. 100% Bamboo Bed incorporates tool and fastener free assembly. The flat-pack design allows for easy shipping and storage. All parts were CNC router cut from G-code programs I generated in VisualMill based in 3D models built in SolidWorks.
Once parts are CNC cut a small amount of finishing is required before complete assembly and shipping.

Stackable ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers made by constructing eight part plaster mold of the design and reproducing forms in liquid clay. The eight part plaster mold was cast in four stages. Plaster block molds were made around REN foam plugs. The REN plate and vassal plugs were turned and sanded on a wood lathe. Solid and hollow clay forms were then reproduced in the molds.
A brown under glaze was first applied to the bisque ware. Then with a gravity feed spray gun the clear glaze was applied.
Custom solid brass chandelier with nickel plating designed and assembled for a client of Remains Lighting. This is the largest chandelier Remains Lighting ever produced reaching over 6 feet in diameter.
I communicated with outside vendors through engineering drawings, CAD files and one on one meetings to create machine, spun and cast parts. I created 3D models of decorative elements, for stereolithography (Rapid prototyping) in Solidworks. The stereoliths were used to make molds for casting in brass.
Approval drawings were submitted to interior designer and client before shop and engineering drawings were generated.
Custom dining room chandelier - two tone finish, copper plating and antique brass.
Custom Sconce designed for Remains Lighting
Custom scaled reproduction of turn of the century exterior lantern. Drawing package created in Solidworks.
Client approval drawing of a chandelier rendered in Solidworks.
All parts were nested and cut from a single sheet of ApplePly plywood. Flat pack design allows for easy shipping. Tool and fastener free assembly.
Design exploration into a modular upholstery system. The idea is to have each rib of the chair upholstered independently so that you could arrange these into different configurations. These wedge-shaped segments could be then disassembled and packed into a relatively small box for shipping.
