2. Material- Cardboard
The material that I chose to mork with was cardboard. This
material is practical, resistant and you can change the furniture
when you want because is a recycled material.
I chose to work with it on the entire FabLAb, not only on the
furniture, but also for the ceiling and the decorative objects.
3. Concept
The idea behind the concept is that FabLAb is a place where everyone
has to be able to learn how to use different machines to build "almost
anything". FabLAb is a place where people can meet, talk, work together,
exchange information, share experiences and knowledge.
FabLab is about movment and change. Is a dynamic space, where people
come, create, interact and then leave.
So the place have to be able to offer the possibility to be changed
depending on needs.
As a reference I used the Flexible Love designed by Chishen Shiu. He
created a chair made entirely of recycled cardboard, which can stretch for
up to 16 people, and then shrink, almost disappearing when not needed.
It expands like an accordion allowing a maximum of flexibility and a
great variety of form. The benches you can create by opening Flexible
Love can be curved or linear, also allowing adaptability to different
environments.
