Zu zweit

Single furniture objects were made into pairs — ‘zu zweit’ — that emphasise how furnishings affect our interactions by determining factors such as physical proximity and eye contact. If these unconscious physical and visual cues are ignored and intellectual priority given to only verbal communication, miscommunications and discomfort can arise. For the designer, the making process itself served as a cathartic negotiation between the linguistic analytical self and the embodied intuitive self. It is not only each other, but these two sides in each of us, who are invited into commune through these objects.
