Park Furniture
In the 2024 spring semester, section 001 was tasked with designing a line of furniture for CHCURC’s new park as a group of 21 designers. Our goal was to create an inviting space that encourages adults to reconnect with their inner child while being difficult to steal. We also aimed for a design that offers an escape from the city and is eco-friendly. We began with research and furniture concepts.
