Circly - The Growing Furniture
In today’s world, we find ourselves in the cycle of excessive consumption and waste. Across the globe, overconsumption and overproduction have become normalized, leading to a throwaway culture. Everything has become easily replaceable and disposable, resulting in the loss of the connections we have to our belongings.
Circly: The Growing Furniture is a design that aims to rebuild these lost connections by offering a personal, emotional experience. Circly restores value to belongings by evolving with its users. It invites individuals to document their memories and experiences into the furniture, enabling it to grow and transform over time. This continuous evolution turns Circly into a living record of its owner's journey, creating a timeless bond that honors the stories of their lives.
Through this interaction, Circly restores the emotional connections that have been damaged by the throwaway culture and challenges the mindset of the disposable society.
This project has been exhibited at the Willem de Kooning Graduation Show 2024.
