The pair of Transformer furniture are meant to be provoking in the way the users decide to interact with them and how their decisions might affect others. By wondering how to use the different seating options, I’m hoping for the users to communicate with each other.
Due to increasing technological advances in our daily lives, people’s social connections and skills are decreasing. In public spaces, there is an opportunity to increase social interaction between strangers during their everyday routine with design.
