Our environment and the products inhabiting it are becoming standardized, public, and liminal. The flattening of our external dialect has produced an ultimatum; should product conform to depersonalized effeciency of space or establish a dividing line? How can furniture act as a partitioning boundary between the personal and public?
Environments elicit emotions. A focus was made on motiffs that divide our emotions from our noisy world:
Form creates the dialogue that defines our environment. Contrasting the systmatically imposing structure of modern space disrupts it:
Ideation focused on sketches to sort through constraints. Simple orthographics and models helped refine possibilities.
The process of prototyping Cradle was entirely "in-house". The opportunity presented a tempting chance for some first hand learning.
