The Process Project (2018)
One week | One process | One stool
‘The Process Project’ was motivated by a desire to highlight the methodology and life-cycle of a product. A collection of stools (one a week), each one made using a different technique and process. With almost three quarters of the population predicted to live in cities by 2050, this project explored how people can pay attention to a product’s life cycle as not to become disconnected from how the materials for their products are sourced. The time restriction was key as it allowed me to reverse the conventional order, which usually puts design before making and shifted the focus onto the process. Limiting myself to a week per stool required me to make rather than hesitate.
