Edward Hale just completed his Masters in Industrial Design from Pratt, by which he developed a new approach to designing and building furniture called Frame and Panel. In an effort to create a stronger bond between consumers and products, Frame and Panel attempts to generate engagement through an online interface allowing users to customize their designs and then, through the execution process, allows them to use custom hardware to make it easy and fun to assemble.
