I really FELT it // Just opened a roll of industrial felt for a prototype from https://thefeltstore.ca/. This gorgeous material is both soft and tough and has a feeling of absorbing and calming every anxious wavelength around it. It will become part of a modular display after some testing and reiterating. Next, I really want to make a felt mural, so if anyone has a need for one reach out!

This little house is getting ready to eat itself. The humble wood structure cloaked in cedar shakes has been standing for 109 years. When it reaches 110th it will begin the digestion process currently in preparation: slow artful demolition; local material reconstitution; reconstruction drawing on local resources. Big dreams for this little house to chew, digest and regurgitate itself. #cyandreams Collab with @objwork @car_martin

TURN THE HOUSE INSIDE OUT
https://www.cyanstation.com/Blog-1

My mantra ‘turn the house inside out’ is about challenging the dichotomies that the notion of the ‘house’ reinforces. I’m always searching of ways that designers are doing this, and one way is to make public spaces more domestic, more cozy for everyone. Informal/Function is a group that educates designers on inclusive practices-their course ‘Fat Friendly Design’ is full of really useful takeaways. Photo from their collaborator Allgo.

The design process is like a puzzle- at Cyan this summer we have been puzzling out a display system that will make space for students to collaborate and to show multi-media work without wasting building materials. The Ditto display has attachments for screens, can make space for computers and can be put together in many configurations. The thin frame has a felt layer that can be replaced by cast-off or custom materials such as cardboard, cork, foam etc.
