This project is to design a set of children's furniture for BIK, in collaboration with London-based architect studio F.O.G.. F.O.G describes this project site as a place for playful learning -- a Kindergarten should provide the children with possibilities of connection, communication and interaction, where they can learn from both their educators and their peers. The furniture design follows same concept: chairs are designed with interlocking structure to withstand weight for both children and adults; bookshelves are designed to be moveable for switching between different rooms. Each piece of the furniture is designed into flat pack for easy on-site construction and cost-saving shipping.
