FLAT-PACKED
The product is a flat-packed chair that can be made into a volume using force. It is made from two stainless steel plates. It being flat-packed makes it more sustainable to ship it. But the production needs to be partly done by the customer. How can that part be made expressive and fun?
SPRING is a project that explores how you can produce products with the things you like to do in your leisure time.

PARKOUR
Several ways to pull the sheets into a volume have been explored. One of them is parkour running. Alex Laman and Bent Van’t Hof their movements were measured with a Perception Neuron suit. The moves with the highest impact were used to further explore chair production.
Several movements are explored. One of them with swinging. With another test set-up, it is being explored if the chair can be made while jumping on it. Alex Laman is working on making the SPRING chair while jumping on the box.
