Object with a sitting function
(2022) In Diploma work IDEL01 20221Industrial Design
- Abstract (Swedish)
- I wanted to have fun in the process, play with forms, elaborate my design language
and learn/see new things. In the design process, the space around the
object is as important to me as the object itself. Only through the right place/
light/surrounding objects, the object works properly. It should be itself but at
the same time one with its environment.
I thought a lot about materiality and immateriality. On the one hand, my
object is there, you can sit on it. It exists, occupies space, and makes a statement.But on the other hand, it doesn‘t.

I have designed a chair, which is first and foremost not a chair. It is an object
with a sitting function. What not meant to be particularly comfortable,
ergonomic, or inviting to spend a whole evening on it. But to invite to look at
it, to perceive the space around it, to ask questions, to stimulate discussions,
to think. I wanted to translate emotions into a form while using minimalistic
design language.
It is also about contrasts, from existing to not existing, round to angular, transparent to opaque, reflective to matt. Because just by comparing extremes we
perceive our environment, and set what we like and whatnot. We all form an
opinion about everything. Some are important, others less. (Less)
