MAMA

Competitions: Home Competition [Now Closed]
Recently, the role of the home has changed, and it is challenging not only in time but also in space to separate rest from work. Wool’s therapeutic nature relieves our body and soul after a long, busy day. For my project, I made a digitally created prototype of my idea. I plan to make a chair of felted wool fiber and a bamboo rod or wood to bring my project to life. I would make the base structure out of wood or bamboo cane to make it as light as possible, and then I would wrap and weave it around and tie it with felted wool yarn. I want to add an extra function so that it can also be used as a swing. Having a double function: The swings invite you to contemplate -they give you a safe space and help you remember as they get in touch with more than one of your senses. I believe being in contact with such a material could also benefit everyday healthy life. Wool has a therapeutic effect, which, among other things, calms the individual; therefore, my project name is MAMA because my mother is the comforting wool for me.
