A series of pieces of furniture that explore the possibility of creating private places within household furniture.  

Just as a cat seeks out hiding places or small spaces to slip into, I wanted to create furniture that can encompass all or parts of the human body.  I searched for hiding places within the house, observing children playing "hide and seek" and looking at illustrations in children's books. I examined dark and private places that can contain the human body (for example: under the bed, behind a curtain, under a hat).  I created a set of objects: one, a human-scale object that can be used for lying down, for storage of sheets and blankets, or for creating a private space within the house. The next, a set of wooden boxes, can be used as seats, but also conceal books, clothes, or just one's head. Finally, there is a chair, where in the technique of wrapping elastic bands creates tunnels, a perspective space, and peek holes. Thus, the user can choose his personal way of using the chair: he can sit on the elastic bands, but also invent new and personal ways of using them, such as entering into the chair or inverting it, and thus examine his relationship with his environment and shape it to his choice. Both of these objects are created using a technology involving bending metal tubes and wood etching. Elastic bands are then wrapped around these materials and closed with velcro.

Hand made out of a single plate of 18 millimeter high quality FSC birch plywood, leaving almost no waste material. Before the sheet is cut into the individual components for the furniture, it is treated with a thick layer of colored epoxy resin, which, after cutting, results in a durable coating and unique print on every part. The 3 millimeter resin coating also results in a significant increase of strength in the plywood, allowing for constructions and setups which cannot be made with untreated plywood.

2008 Focusing on criticism towards the way we use objects with extreme caution, In many cases fragility is a greater value than usability, and the need to preserve an object overcomes the need to comfortably use it. The value of well preserved object can be greater that the value of useful object. Taking example from third world decoration of cars, and a their comparison of perfectly preserved ones in the first world, describes a miss judgment of useful objects role.

2012 Our contemporary style of living forces us to rethink our surrounding. The virtual digital environment makes our physical neighborhood as big as the whole world, and our possibilities for being is as endless as the web. This international state penetrates our physical surrounding and makes our lives more dynamic than ever before. Our personal belongings are becoming things that we need to move occasionally from home to home. We move between apartments, cities, states and even continents. Following our international life style, one day we are here, and in the other we live far far away. Sometimes it seems that our possessions are defined by the size of the moving van or the container we need to move our self, and by that our moving foot print is more important than our present foot print. What happens to our belongings that fail to move with us? Can they keep on existing? Can a non-collapsible sofa still exist in the contemporary life style? And what will be the life span of a non-collapsible chair, one that will just take too much space in the moving van?
