What if an object doesn’t tell you how to use it?

Most product designs today focus on clarity, efficiency, and predefined use, leaving little room for exploration. These textile objects encourage open-ended exploration at body scale. People sit, lean, lie down, balance, or hide within them. They open, close, fold, stretch, and mold around the body.

The objects are dynamic, transformable shapes that explore how design can move beyond fixed functions and open possibilities for textile interaction, play, and rest. Balancing between clarity of instructions and creating room for exploration is a crucial element in this research. Carefully placed interaction cues suggest different ways of engaging without becoming too restrictive. This work aims to give people more agency to explore how they want to use an object. Design does not have to define behaviour, it can invite exploration.
