Sink is an investigation of the relationship between hard and soft, surface and form, user and object. The result is a lounge chair whose seat surface becomes meaningful only when engaged by the user. Sink also allowed me to consider the concept of unfamiliarity in everyday objects; some test users expressed fear before they sank into the chair, which quickly turns into surprise through supportive comfort, followed by lingering fascination at departure.

Sink was a Behance Featured Project in 2015.
