MAYA

Category: Furniture

MAYA is a sculpture, a furniture as well as spatial design in 3 separate pieces. The object has multiple functions such as room divider, mirror and the ability to create directions in a space. The object is produced in tinted glass with stands in black stained wood. The project is a mix of both art and design and explores perspectives and perception. I reflect over the nature inside of us related to the nature outside of us and our way to adapt to it. The user has the option to arrange how the pieces relate in wide diversity and affect how the object and its surroundings are experienced. With Maya I want to play with, entertain and challenge the human eye to discover new perspectives as the user interacts with the object. I want to open up to new ways of thinking and navigate through the world we all share. MAYA is a flirtation to the philosophy of postmodernism, which emphasizes the diversity of human experience and multiplicity of perspectives. Therefore the object is designed with typical shapes from the era.
