Forms of Intimacy

Chairs, carpets, lamps, desks… Everything in our rooms nowadays has a defined name, a clear function, a fixed position. Fundamental qualities of our living environment -such as tactility, cosiness, materiality- are being neglected and gradually extinct.

Rooms have become too real.

Creating pieces of abstract shapes and ambiguous function, we reclaim the lost intimacy of our personal spaces; the kind of intimacy experienced in interiors of past generations, where satisfying the senses would be prior to pure functionality.

A pair of interlocked sheets of fabrics, decorating the couch as a soft sculpture, can be unfolded and used as a throw or a blanket to hide in. The rich textures trigger tactility and the warm colours satisfy the eyes. The sofa becomes an inviting playground. 

Two heavy, elongated seed bags lay on the floor inviting your feet to interact with, and so, releasing stress and stimulating the senses in one of our most sensitive body parts.

A mobile hanging above is turning smoothly. It mesmerises whilst filtering the air with the charcoal hidden in the porcelain ball.
