Uncanny Transformation: Familiar Futures

exploring our cultural understanding of home

Referencing the uncanny, various aspects of a traditional domestic interior have been manipulated in direct contrast to stereotypical homes of the future (think purely utilitarian spaces, white, functional and interactive). The design outcomes are wide and varied and explore elements of sensory and problem solving design, ranging from chocolate switches and flocked tiles to photographic Trompe L'oeil wallpapers and electromagnetic sheilding materials. All of these elements work together to challenge our perceptions of this familiar environment and our relationship with it.

Narrative Identities
www.nadiatroeman.com

A system for college enrolment that captures some of the complexities of personal identity in a globalised world. The system replaces the current limited categories E.G. African, British, Asian, with a visualization of a personal updateable dynamic logo that tells a specific story, provides a wayfinding system and a course and college identity.

Brick Habitat

www.chooileng.com

The proliferation of towns and cities has deprived many plant and animal species of their natural habitat. This project is an attempt to revive some of these spaces by encouraging the coexistence of humans and nature within the man made environment, while questioning anthropocentric attitudes and established precepts of human socio-spatial orderings.

This project is a trial to improve products’ sustainability by ‘trace’. ‘Trace’ is the stimulus to our senses, which can stimulate people’s associations naturally.

My Rocking Teapot

This project explores the overlap between two approaches: Inclusive design and the idea of fundamental, quantitative ‘needs’; and emotional design, which is more personalised and qualitative. The objective is to create a meaningful spectacle which everyone can share and to provide the user with new everyday experiences, incorporating poetry, simplicity and narrative.

This teapot depicts simplicity and intuition in its aesthetic lines, with a patent lightness of touch. The visual language has been reduced to let the object breathe and tell a story based on its interaction with the user.

Burden Furniture
An exploration of patterns of use and storage and how their boundaries might define furniture is at the heart of this furniture. Technology impacts increasingly on our use of personal spaces, bringing its own detritus to our increasing confined urban spaces. The result; furniture with a personalised and idiosyncratic idiom.

A Table of Two Cities

A Table of Two Cities connects friends and family in London and New York through a shared interactive café experience. Networked multi-touch tables enable café-goers in these remote locations to share a meal and communicate through the table surface. The café table conveys the presence of the other café-goer and becomes a liminal surface connecting close friends in distant cities.
