In today's world, digital tools and many objects create a static environment. As a result, our bodies also become static. A sedentary lifestyle is the fourth leading cause of premature death worldwide.
We are human beings - living beings - and as long as there is life, there is movement, energy and stimulation : from the atomic to the cosmic scale.
Sitting should allow us to rest without shutting down the body's dynamism.
So I created ‘TLESSs’, a seat that encourages movement and helps people reconnect with their body.
It combines the fluidity of materials with a shape that, when locked, creates a point of balance and resistance.
It is a seat that is experienced: it challenges proprioception, promotes better posture, allows us to feel gravity and understand how our body occupies space.
Designed to evolve in small homes or open spaces, wherever mobility becomes necessary and where use transforms the space.
TLESSs is also the sound the seat makes when you handle it and when you sit down.
This object comes to life through humans, inviting them to experience a new gesture, a moment of surprise and joy through the atmosphere it creates.
Makes you smile,
Makes you move,
Make 'TLESSs'
Bio I am a multidisciplinary and biomimetic designer, trained in the traditional craft of chair making, driven by a systemic and sensitive approach to movement. I combine product and system design, research into ecological transition and technical expertise.
I design objects that reveal the intimate relationship between the body, materials and the environment. My work explores how a piece of furniture can become a living organism, capable of embodying dynamics and activating new imaginations while respecting ergonomics.
Nowadays, I focus my career on bio-inspired design techniques.
