UN-USED SPACE, 2005

Materials: Plastic straw

The solid objects that I have designed for this project reflect on the idea of inter-connection
between a human being and his/hers surrounding space. The objects support parts of a leaning or
sitting body and so replicate the un-used space between the body and surface.
The design is inspired by the molecular structures found in nature. It is reflected in the inventive
use of plastic straws that become at once strong and light.
This idea is developed further in the 2010 project “Pile Isle” Bamboo Bench.
