MA (furniture) Design: ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’

Material: Oak & Perspex

2019

POA

“All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret.”Gabriel García Márquez, 2012 

Personal treasures, private secrets, objects of desire; subtly secured from prying eyes. In the modern home, where space is precious, we have few opportunities to protect our treasured belongings. ‘Hidden in Plain Site’ explores how furniture can conceal our secret possessions. 

In this collection of quiet geometric forms all is not what it seems. Each contain secret compartments cleverly conceived to enhance the ‘pleasure in the reveal.’ In the ritual of use, memories are created by the interaction of retrieval and rediscovery, creating emotional journeys for everyday pleasures.
