Future Relic Studio
Workshop
01 / Idea
The Question
Every Studio object begins with a question about how people might live, work, move, or communicate in the future.
- Define the role of the object.
- Identify the emotional response.
- Clarify why the object should exist.
02 / Research
Reference Field
Historical references, technical systems, architecture, industrial design, and speculative media are studied to establish the project's visual and conceptual field.
- Collect references without copying them.
- Look for recurring forms and systems.
- Separate timeless ideas from temporary trends.
03 / Sketch
Form Studies
Early sketches test proportion, silhouette, placement, construction, and the relationship between functional and visual details.
- Explore many forms quickly.
- Remove unnecessary details.
- Preserve the strongest underlying idea.
04 / Prototype
First Physical Form
The first physical version tests whether the idea survives contact with material, scale, movement, and use.
- Test the object at full scale.
- Document failures and unexpected behavior.
- Prioritize utility before presentation.
05 / Material
Material Trials
Materials are compared for durability, texture, weight, aging, manufacturing compatibility, and emotional character.
- Compare appearance and performance.
- Test how the material changes over time.
- Avoid decorative material choices without purpose.
06 / Production
Production System
The final construction, specifications, tolerances, finishes, packaging, and production records are prepared for manufacturing.
- Resolve every production detail.
- Record specifications and revisions.
- Preserve samples for Archive.
07 / Complete
The Object
The finished object enters its exhibition and becomes part of the permanent Future Relic Archive.
- Photograph the completed object.
- Publish its story and specifications.
- Connect Studio, Archive, Journal, and Media records.
