Conceived as a research and experimentation exercise, the project rethinks contemporary furniture from a material, sensory and emotional perpective. Beyond designing functional objects, the project explores new relationships between body, space and matter, challenging traditional concepts such as structure, comfort and use.
Through Design Thinking methodologies, applied research and iterative prototyping, students developed a series of hybrid pieces that move between object and experience, domestic landscape and furniture. The projects use the ambiguous qualities of Flexyskin® to propose new ways of interacting with domestic and contract environments.
The project was developed in collaboration with BOLN and Octavio Asensio together with students from the Hybrid Furniture course within the Master’s Degree in Furniture Design.
