The Cranbrook Academy of Art presents Innate Gestures:

With Innate Gestures, 15 of Cranbrook's graduate students in 3D Design put the human body and the human senses back at the center of the designed world. Working with guest critic Leon Ransmeier and 3D designer-in-residence Scott Klinker, students examine the force of intuition at work as a creator of form, and as a result of felt responses to objects and the environment.

Participants include: Isaac Chen, Courtney Clarke, Patrick Gavin, Malika Green, Glenn Jufer, Talha Khwaja, Sang Hoon Kim, Grace Youngeun Lee, Sang-Jang Lee, Saebyul Lim, Jonathan Muecke, Robert Turek, and Hsin-Chun Wang

Stool #02, Bob Turek
Using the language of a standard bar stool, this tall version creates a minimal stage for musicians or performers.

Waste Bin, Grace Youngeun Lee
By stepping on the pedal, the bin opens towards you- yet the cover remains stationary. This natural motion is emphasized through a graphic division of color and material.
