Abstract:

This project is an attempt to combine metaphor with three-dimensional furniture design. The project starts with three of the basic seven plots, as part of an ongoing project to illustrate all seven. Most of my projects to date have been about social design. In these projects, the design is a problem solving or finding tool. Here I enquire into the development of visual language and how to reflect my narrative.

The aim is to explore the potential of three-dimensional design to engage with narrative and to develop my capacity for finding form. It is experimental and outside my comfort zone. Inspired at the start by Nendo's 50 Manga chairs, (see image) I extend the project to incorporate the idea of the Seven Basic Plots.
