Transient Habitation: Furniture as Companions by Therese Wennlid

HVAD? Et multifunktionelt træbord. Det kan både bruges som skrivebord, spisebord, sofabord eller endda flere små borde. Og det er let at skille, samle og pakke sammen, så det kan følge sin ejer som kabinebagage ud i verden.

HVORDAN? Designeren kombinerede sine egne erfaringer fra ophold i flere lande med en dyb indsigt i andre moderne nomaders liv for at forstå behovet for et møbel, der matchede livsformen. Hun havde samtaler om identitet, flytninger, følelsen af hjemlighed og materialer, og var endda med til en flytning mellem to svenske byer.

HVORFOR? Unge karrierenomader rejser over hele verden for at udfolde deres potentiale. Med det transportable bord kan de tage følelsen af deres personlige ’hjem’ med sig til det næste mål – og undgå ressourcebelastende nyanskaffelser.

WHAT? The multifunctional wooden table is a partner for life. It can be used as a desk, a dining table, a coffee table or even as several small tables. And it's easy to disassemble, assemble and pack up so it can accompany its owner as carry-on luggage out into the world.

HOW? The designer has combined her own experiences from staying in several countries with a deep insight into the lives of other modern nomads in order to appreciate the need for a piece of furniture that matches their way of life. She has had conversations about identity, relocations, about feeling at home and also about materials. She even took part in a move between two Swedish cities.

WHY? Young career nomads travel all over the world in order to unleash their potential. With the transportable table, they can take the feeling of their personal 'home' with them to the next destination – and avoid resource-intensive new acquisitions.
