Round / „Hringa“
Playful seating equipment for people that wanna have fun
The assignment was to find one village anywhere in the world, find everything we could about it, and design some kind of a seat, stool or seating equipment in the end. I did my research about Wangdue Phodrang, which is a village in Bhutan. They have a festival, where they mainly dance in circles to celebrate the Black Necked Crane which lives in their valley for a couple of months every year. When the Cranes arrive they fly in circles around the valley and the inhabitants consider that a blessing. When families come to the city center to celebrate, they place colorful carpets on the ground to reserve a space for their family.
When sitting and playing on the Round, you can swing to the sides and jump slightly up and down.
