Gesture: A Balance of Perches
5th Year
Maura Thieszen | Assistant Professor Kendra Kirchmer
Each stool, with its unique personality, speaks to a different posture one might take during a brief meeting, or informal gathering. The series creates a personal connection with the user as they choose how they want to rest within a third space or commercial lobby. The seat of each perch is monoliothis in appearance and made entirely of cork. This short-term seating series focuses on creating a novel user experience, bringing playfulness back into the work environment, while supporting the natural posture of a human body.
