This project started with the question: ‘What happens when we do not tell people how to use something?’ When objects are vague or unclear, they open up space for discovery. Ambiguity can invite playfulness, imagination, and personal interpretation, beyond conventional functions, reimagining our relationships with objects.

Through flexible, tactile, and transformable textiles, this project creates ambiguous objects that resist fixed function. Instead of offering efficiency or predetermined use, they invite users to bend, fold, stretch, and reshape, encouraging curiosity, experimentation, and new possibilities for interaction. These designs turn everyday things into tools for exploration, where play becomes a way of rethinking how we live with objects.
