(Archive) Twig Kit

Context and Concept

The system was first created as a design solution for a Lebanese concept store. The client’s brief was simply to create a display system. However, the instability the country has been facing added additional constraints to the brief. We set out to create a system that has the ability to constantly adapt to the user’s ever changing needs or settings, to give it resilience and longevity.

Twig Kit is a manifestation of our belief in user centered design practice and thinking, a world that is built at the intersection of ethical practice, feasibility, viability, and desirability. With that in mind, we quite often create modular designs that may be separated and recombined to engage users and empower them to create spaces that cater to their changing needs. Twig Kit is a flexible, modular system that harnesses the field’s iterative nature, allowing users to transcribe their own stories.

Material and Construction

Twig Kit is composed of wood stems which are supported by circular, triangular, or square concrete bases. Branches connect the stems to form the system that accommodates a range of add-ons such as shelves, mirrors, and storage boxes. Because the design is modular, flexible, mobile and playful, Twig Kit allows for countless variations and combinations.
