Vitra MEETS MAD In progress EXPERIENCE / Collaboration with Vitra An enthusiastic group of eight students were inspired by all kind of components of Vitra furniture. These pieces weren t suitable for sale, but we were offered to revive them creatively. Central in the project stands interactivity with and to the furniture. Our mission was to find a way to let the furniture capture the imagination more and to invite the users to interact. You need three things to open the path to your imagination: playfulness, wonder and a sense of security. We present to you the three projects that were created from this point of view: Touter, Niëna and Rommetom
