THE “INCOMPREHENSIBLE”
2024
Two broken chairs, some pallets and pipes… They say product design is dying. It began to make sense when I saw how quickly even well-designed objects could become outdated. Still, I wanted to explore the idea of “unknowability.”
Beginning with discarded chairs, pallets and pipes found across Glasgow, I dismantled and rearranged the materials into unfamiliar but functional forms. Once removed from their original context, familiar components became abstract, creating new possibilities for structures, surfaces and connections.
The pipe studies used hand-cut sections as modular legs, joints and supports. Their irregular edges were retained, exploring how waste could become useful without losing its uncertainty and previous history.
