Soft Potential
No full text“Soft Potential” highlights the potential of furniture and objects to encourage idiosyncratic and open usage through flexible, modular systems. I utilize modularity as a major tool in prompting interaction and transferring agency. Modular systems embody flexibility in form and function and enable people to tailor designs according to their own ideals. This reflects my aim of designing non-prescriptive work, exercising a soft approach to furniture design.
In this work, softness is a rejection of rigidity in support of human tenderness and agency. Softness in furniture can be both literal and metaphorical — embracing the contours of the human body while inviting diverse interpretations and usage. Softness is a guiding principle. Color, curved lines, textiles, and wood are combined to invite tactile interaction.
This thesis and accompanying body of work is a combined effort to push the emotive, participatory, and spatial potential of objects and furniture
