author's description

Dessa is a furniture system that responds to the problem of overconsumption. It allows reuse of the same components to create new furniture. This is possible thanks to the assembly and disassembly system, which is designed according to the principles of a closed-loop economy. Users can give away and take components from the company's material loop, reducing the need to produce and use new resources. The system gives users the ability to replace broken components and make changes in the appearance and size of furniture. For the project, I created a special material that can be regenerated, recycled and biodegraded.
