Tsunami 3.wmv

Conceived to be a bench three different ways, tsunami is able to be configured depending on ones body type. Just simply rotate one profile piece and a series of interlocking rods allow the others to follow. A main bar, located at the base of the bench, is threaded to a custom circular plate on both sides allowing for all the pieces to clamp together. Its flush with the ends of the ply to suggest that the design is only a section of a continuous volume that is not limited in length. Because of the nature of the bench, the pieces can be individually disabled and extended as far as the rod takes it.

Play was an important aspect in the design. Thinking of furniture as a playful tool, engaging and transforming ones experience, allows for exploration to occur. It allows the individual to think creatively and leave them in control to form and shape depending on their own desires. A rhythm is carried throughout the piece allowing one simple move to drastically change the appearance of the furniture.
