SPRING PRODUCTION


SPRING is a project that explores how you can produce products with the things you like to do in your leisure time.

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?

VOLUME


When the product is extruded, it can be used as a chair. 

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.
