This week we were asked to respond, in any way, to a newspaper story. I chose a headline from The Guardian Online about the Jewish festival of Sukkot and the way it invites us to think about those for whom transient living is normal.
I am interested in the idea of a transient lifestyle and the way in which it requires that some things or people remain still. If you are, or choose to be, always moving you often rely on hospitality. For those who are called on to be hospitable, the question of space can be an issue. I would like to invite people to stay with us, but we have no place for them to sleep. My children have a corner of the living room in which to play, but no seating. I have tried to address these issues and have designed an object that is both a bed and low level seating with play potential.
