Chicago's Millenium Park Sculpture

Kernan Yacht Design provided surface modeling for Anish Kapoor's celebrated "Cloud Gate" sculpture in Chicago's Millenium Park. After creation of a surface model from sketches provided by the artist, the model was split into roughly 168 sections which were CNC cut from stainless steel plate and assembled by Performance Structures to create a highly polished seamless organic sculpture. The sculpture is 10m x 20m x 13m and weighs 110 tons.

 

SCUBA Rebreather

Kernan Yacht Design provided the design for the casing of this SCUBA “rebreather.” Surfaces were modeled to extremely high tolerances to insure exact fit of all components and ergonomic suitability. Surface files were provided for molds to be cut with a 5-axis CNC mill.
