Abstract

With the invention and constant improvement of international travel and global connectivity our options and opportunities are expanding rapidly. As we negotiate this constantly changing world we must rely on our possessions to accommodate and adapt to transitions and not impede them. What might domestic furniture look and behave like in this flux? This research project aims to posit ideas for a furniture system which sits outside and adjacent to traditional domestic furniture models. Employing nostalgic and utilitarian inspirations this project follows an experimental approach to generating a domestic furniture system which is intuitive and practical to use, whilst also engaging with a sense of fun and whimsy.
