We were asked to take a big leap and prepare a 1:1 or 1:5 model of a fitting within our building. I wanted to carry on with my idea of exploring the stitching process.
I made a number of sketches simulating stitching as a method of joinery of two different materials. Therefore, I began to think of things like furniture, window frames, built in mirrors.
Eventually I decided to do a reception desk where I could reveal the way stitching could be used as a construction method for built in furniture. I also did the reception desk because my main idea is stitching and revealing the stitching process, therefore, I envisaged the first point of contact between a prospective user of my building and I thought of that point of contact as where Kula, the client, or her employee would welcome the users into the building and I wanted to reveal that idea right from that point of contact.
In terms of the execution of the reception table itself, I can't say it was completely successful because I felt, after the crit, that the idea just ran through the top of the table and did not really run through the whole table including all of its members, also, It did not seem to be specific to its setting.
