In my thesis I write about what I as a cabinet maker can contribute with in a design process and construction process of a piece of furniture. From past experience there is often a lack of expertise among the architects and designers in areas like construction and material knowledge at design studios. I have in cooperation with Svenskt Tenn and their range manager chosen a sketch by Josef Frank from the archives, a sketch that never left the drawing table. Josef Frank, trained as an architect, was not a cabinet maker and therefore he didn’t have the same knowledge about construction as, for example, the famous cabinet maker Carl Malmsten. This you can clearly see in Franks sketches. The sketches that he drew leave you with a lot of questions that you need to find the answers to before the manufacturing can begin and this is my thesis is about. It’s up to me as the cabinet maker together with the knowledge of Svenskt Tenns range managers about Josef Frank and his design to create a piece of furniture that is as close as possible to Frank’s sketch and ideas. The result of my work is a prototype of a table that has been developed after analysis of a simple sketch. I have identified and solved a number of problems such as; materials, the appearances and construction of the table. I have from my studies realized the importance of the cabinet maker’s knowledge in a design process. With this knowledge I can help and guide the designer/outsourcer/producer forward to a more sustainable and better developed product.

A detailed study of a portion of the Valley and Ridge Province in eastern Tennessee was conducted to decipher its geologic nature and relation to surroundings and the Blountian phase of deformation. This area known as Crums Knob and is located nine miles south of Greenville, TN. Locally, the area owes its anomalous topography to inherited geologic structures. Crums Knob is bound in the north and south by tear faults and the main topographic feature represents a series of SW plunging folds. Deformation in three phases: folding, thrust faulting, and refolding. Stratigraphic relations show facies changes which affect the mechanical behavior of the Tellico Sandstone. When the sandstone is Underlain by the Lower Shale Unit or Lenoir Limestone, minor folds and thrust faulting occur within the Tellico Sandstone. But when it is underlain by the Knox Group, it deforms in the same way as the Knox Group forming broader folds.In a regional context, the following may be concluded: 1) The Blountian phase occurred from Upper Cambrian to the Middle Ordovician times, resulting in uplift of the terrain to the southeast. 2) The Middle Ordovician basin was developed as an isostatic response to the uplift. 3) Isostatic movements took place along fractures that were oriented W-NW and E-NE. As a result eroded limestone clasts were deposited along these fractures preserving the fractures' initial orientation. 4) During the Alleghanian Orogeny (?), there was a reactivation of these fractures moving blocks either: A) upward to form ramps as a response to the back load of advancing thrust sheets, or B) downward as a response to the direct load of the transported sheets. 5) Either of these movements controlled the pattern of tear faults in the Middle Ordovician basin in terms of their distribution density and length. 6) The Blountian Phase is diachronous, and its effects in the southeast were earlier than those in the northern regions.This area has not been mapped in detail and it merits a more intensive study regarding its petrographic and stratigraphic nature. / Department of Geology
