Osmos, furniture as a tool for blurring the indoor/outdoor divide
(2021) In Diploma work IDEM05 20201Industrial Design
- Abstract
- There is a growing interest in integrating indoor
and outdoor spaces and our experiences on both
sides. Nevertheless, despite being a constant
topic in architectural research, there is little
academic work that shows the role of furniture
as great tools for creating that connection.
This degree project aims to show the enormous
potential of furniture to be a useful tool to
connect indoor and outdoor environments by
challenging the users’ perception of the space.
Its ability to do so lies in the non-written
rules that state that specific material, shapes,
and archetypes are indoor or outdoor. These

In particular, this thesis experiment with
two ideas. Finding examples of the furniture
aspects previously mentioned (material,
shape and archetype) that could not be
classified, and combining indoor-tagged
furniture features with outdoor-tagged ones.
The result of the design experimentation is
a family of seats that blurs the in/out divide. (Less)
