The better the design, the more subtle it becomes and the less we pay attention to it:
“ It’s like an air conditioner in a conference room. Nobody ever interrupts our meetings to tell us how comfortable the temperature is. They don’t even notice.” – Jared M. Spool

Kangaroo kids
Institutional Design
Description:
I have redesigned a kindergarten for a well- known franchise Kangaroo kids. Each classroom has its own set of furnitures, which serve its individual function suitable for the kids of a particular age. The ground surrounding the building also has space for extracurricular activities like sports, performances, swimming and so on. I have designed the space such a way that is very interactive with the kids and helps in their cognitive development. Location of the institution is Sindhu Bhavan Road Area covered by the building is around 350 m2 .

Aim: The task was to use fifteen pieces of wood, to design a seating element with activity alloted. The furniture was built using joinery without any kind adhesive or nails.
Joinery used spline, mytre and dowel joinery.
The wood use to make is a type of hard wood, called Beech wood.
Features: This design was very much inspired by a recliner, how it is at an angle making you lean back and there is support for legs as well. Some words that can be used to describe this chair are simplistic, minimal, angular.
