“The best way to remember something
is to be aware of its absence.”
Its ergonomic indentations show
where a human body should be. These traces very specifically signify how the user can kneel, stand and touch their toes, or do a side-bend to access the certain storage compartments specific to each motion. Each of the three movements elicits a view straight outside. The strict dictation of physical interaction with the piece heightens the user’s awareness of how they must contort their own body to use the piece and to see outsdoors, therefore calling attention to the simple and otherwise passive action of bending over.
