As this is an experimental piece, there is much I would like to explore in the future regarding Bamse’s design. I would like to continue experimenting with fabric as a connecting element in a similar fashion to Manz’s Plint table, and would like to test the angles of the joinery between the seat base and panels to a much greater depth. I am excited with the results Bamse has already afforded, and look forward to the paths this type of creative thinking can lead to in my future design career.

This project was part of a small furniture competition amongst students completed during my time at DIS in Copenhagen.
