Scramble - A Meal for 100

SCRAMBLE

Karen Solorio & Beni Lawson

In creating a meal for a hundred people, Scramble cultivates a space that promotes individuals to be comfortable enough to be vulnerable and fragile in order to foster meaningful connections.

Designed to be modular, Scramble interprets formal qualities of an egg and deconstructs them into eating, sitting, and relaxation spaces. The tables are cut in fourths with 45 degree angles, allowing for an array of configurations. These different modules allow individuals to dictate the size of the group they would like to eat with. Egg-shaped chairs with a distinct curvaceous and enveloping form create a cozy, cocoon-like seating experience. Through this, the comfort needed to be fragile and open with strangers is supplied. The area is populated with modular pods allowing inhabitants to shelter themselves in small groups; therefore, cultivating new meaningful and intimate connections among strangers. Embracing the frenzied and chaotic nature that can ensue when 100 strangers congregate, Scramble translates the abstract qualities of a egg into a free and open plan.
