Proto
Proto is a series of curved, upholstered chairs, sofas, benches, and stools, working as a dynamic dwelling, referencing huts more than rooms with four walls. Modular seating is usually something that extends in a straight line or perhaps through a bend, but I wanted to look at Proto in a more archaic way as if you are sculpting these pieces out of clay. The Proto collection is my interpretation of +Halle’s brief on dwelling, inspired by our desire to seek shelter from an over-stimulated public realm.
