: Our objective was to design a modern, light and minimalistic piece. The challenge was to have three pieces that can function separately or collectively. Thus defining the correct scale and dimensions proved to be difficult, but not impossible. Since at the end we were capable of figuring out a reasonable compromise. Another challenge was to insure when the product is used as a collective piece, that the separate nested elements don't move or fall out. This was resolved by choosing felt as the seat material. Since the felt is slightly raised on each seat, they cushion down when nested into each other. Thus preventing them from sliding out.
