“Passing on“
Feminism from mothers to daughters
Hlabisa Bench – Mash T. Design studio x Houtlander
inspired by potjie pot of her grandmother and Zulu weaving skills passed down for generations
Passing on attidute rather than skills
Marianne Wex – Let’s Take Back Our Space
What if the chair was built only for and by women?
Key question:
“Whose fight/story are you sitting on?”
-> sitting on but also avoiding doing something
empowerment vs. disempowerment
Personal feeling: both (MeToo, awareness, Trump, Epstein etc.)
Modularity
Growing in length/height/number of people
Layers: building up on vs. deconstructing the past
materials:
wood – different ages, different tones, upholstery, linoleum
