Under Cover
Olga Flór
# “Textile has the ability to metamorphose our furniture, spaces and attitude. This is how an office work-suit becomes a blanket, a hanging tapestry and a chair cover, bringing comfort and intimacy.”
‘Under Cover’ considers the importance of comfort in dehumanised spaces. The open space of the modern office, devoid of any walls, has recently evolved into ‘hot desking’. This eliminates the concept of a personal, fixed working space and constrains people to anonymity for the sake of productivity. As a result, the almost clinical transparency and digital supremacy of the desking world is craving for comfort. That is why we transform our furniture by covering it with things to mark our territory. Olga Flór made two drawings while experiencing cold offices. She then wove them into a variety of patterns. They were based on various ways of defining an instant work space in response to individual well-being and needs.
