Break it social

An urban furniture, that breaks down social barriers between strangers and make social spaces in the public.

When one person is using the furniture, nothing happens. When another person joins, the furniture activates and breaks down.

When two pieces of furniture are used, they create a bigger social space with room for more people. In the evening and in the night the colored surfaces on the furniture glow in the dark.

DESIGN PROCESS

CORE METHODS: prototyping, bodystorming and observations.

 

What are you able to do with the construction? How would you break it down? And how would you use it? Observing other people interact with the furniture.

Testing the flow of the furniture - used it for the final animation.
