During an internship as a furniture designer in 2020, I generated a series of ideas in attempt to blend the 'fun' and 'poetry' which I loved in graphic design into the 'simplicity' and 'comfort' that is valued in functional design. Some of them have been turned, or are in the process of becoming, products on shelf.
The process was enjoyable, when people expressed their appreciation for the 'non-conventional' thinking in a conventional product industry; but difficult, when quality of the design isn't the only factor in making a marketing decision.
