understanding the modes of partial or spontaneous rest, the bench is based on a module that allows for a rigorous adaptation to multiple site conditions. composed of only two component families, the modulation assumes many bio-mimetic qualities because the families are based on similar dimensions that allow for an imposition of multiple forces, some programmed and some random depending on the user or the site. the configuration is neither extruded or copied in a conventional way, but arrayed by a series or mirrored and rotated folds that allow. the folding repetition also allows for an end condition family and a series or feet that may respond to a specific site.
