Our fixture revolves the concept of closeness and proximity regarding relationships, including online and in person ones. Games often act as connection mechanism, linking individuals through shared experiences. We wanted to create a design showcasing the fun nature of games, hence our materiality choice, with playing cards as the main focus. Shapes were cut into the cards in a randomized pattern to increase its whimsicality. Pops of color were then introduced with the addition of different colored plastic film. Finally, cloth was glued onto the top of the fixture to create a comfortable setting with homey textures, while ropes bound the entire structure together and provided a hanging mechanism.
