dele
today, much of the furniture the average consumer purchases is designed to be discarded, born for obsolesence.
why is this so? and which pieces do we carry with us, rather than discarding? after all, you’d never discard a member of your own family; why do we treat our possessions with such insignificance?
heavily inspired by recent studies abroad in Copenhagen and observation of the significance craft plays in modern-day Scandinavian furniture design, dele seeks to connect emotionally with its user, becoming a personality-infused member of the family.
dele wants to have a seat at the table, too.
