1. Inspiration

 ∙ Performance, material, and reading as starting points
 ∙ The chair as an object of exploration and interaction
 ∙ Speculative redesign of everyday objects through bio-based processes

---

2. Waste & Material

∙ Objects as part of a natural waste and growth cycle 

∙ Grown from natural materials → decomposing back into soil 

∙ Use of raw, minimally processed materials 

∙ Co-creation with materials: the unpredictability of growth as a stylistic and design device 

---

3. Labor & Production 

∙ Artisanal objects serve a small elite; industrial production offers wider availability but exploits workers 

∙ Question: how can production be both accessible and non-exploitative? 

∙ Growing as an alternative production model beyond human labor 

---

4. Availability & Access 

∙ Community hubs and trading stations as a distribution model 

∙ Question: do objects need longevity if they can be produced without labor? 

∙ Decentralised, collective infrastructure for production and distribution 

---

5. Form & Sitting 

∙ Material exploration: growing material into molds 

∙ Testing molds made from different materials 

∙ Reusing and integrating every part of the process 

∙ More-than-human sitting → interspecies resting 

---

6. Process & Visibility 

∙ Making the process visible: showing and using every object involved 

∙ The molds themselves as part of the project narrative 

∙ Circular thinking: no object remains invisible or is discarded
