Please Have a Seat, Kortrijk

FELT was working closely together with Wefapress for over a year, investigating the possibilities of their unique PE-plastics in interior design, when the company got hit by a devastating fire ruining their entire production facilities in Vreden. Inspired by their resilience as a company and impelled by their determination to move forward, we helped them to ‘pick up the pieces’. We looked into the scares leftover material and used it to design two unique pieces of furniture, both at show on PHAS.

The Piano stool is aimfully designed as a cheerful object. Referring both to the mid-century optimism associated with plastic design, as much as representing the perpetual good spirit of the Wefa family while going through these challenging times.

The After-eight is a concept that investigates the application of scent in furniture design. A unique leftover research sample sheet of mint infused PE was used to clad the inside of a circular lounge chair, perfect for rocking yourself asleep after a heavy meal. A chair as an after dinner mint?

Bookshop, M Leuven, Leuven

The museum lobby is conceived as a ‘hub': a space that helps the public to orientate towards the galleries, the ticket desk or the cafeteria. The existing architecture provides no more than what the intended function asks for, merely the space itself. Ad hoc additions (multimedia desk, promotion, shop, kids-corner…) transformed it into a place of clutter.
The challenge was to incorporate those necessary additions without neglecting the purity of the space. The design consists of a single intervention, the introduction of three mirroring cubes. When spread out in the space they reflect their surroundings, adding new perspectives. Bright primal colors in their interior mark their distinct functions and add fragments of color to the sober interior of the lobby.

rXX, Scaleless Object

In essence rXX is a scaleless object: four arches supporting a perforated disk. The radius defines its size and functionality, the materiality is chosen accordingly.
With a radius of 22cm (r22) the scaleless object becomes a lightweight flat-pack stool, made out of 3 pieces of recycled plastic.

Utopia, Inverted Island

Utopia, Inverted Island

When Thomas More published Utopia in 1516, nobody knew where the island could have been located. Nowadays every square inch of land is mapped: Gone mystery, gone imagination. On top of that almost all land is crammed. Luckily there is still the ocean, as more or less uncultivated terrain.
When CANVAS asked us to design a current day Utopia we envisioned an inverted-island: An oversized ring, reclaiming land. Conceived as a giant retaining wall, it is a singular architectural gesture that is at once building and city. It is completely detached from the world around it, but the land it holds on the ocean floor can provide the goods for its inhabitants. Utopia meets Atlantis, let’s say.

ATC Tables

The table is called 'After the Curtain', referring to the origin of the marble sheet that once was belonged to the counters in the Behind-the-Curtain-project for the Biennial Interieur in 2014. The picture shows the first of a limited series of tables designed to reuse each singular piece of marble recovered from the fair.
