To create something creative and unusual, you can find inspiration in almost anything around you and the "Socks + Furniture" collection byGreg Papoveis a great example to prove the same.For this project, Greg Papove took inspiration from socks, their usage and social significance to create a new furniture collection.The project also aimed at discovering material production methods, human-object relations and finding new ways of reprocessing.The upshot of the project are three furniture units inspired by socks – Zap Lamp, Unity Sofa and Five Toes Coffee Table.
- Zap Lamp
It is a floor lamp with a rough carpet base and the inspiration for this lamp comes from the quality of socks to produce static electricity.Enhancing interaction in a unique way, you have to rub his/her socks to generate static electricity that is passed to the lamp through your finger.A touch switch with low sensitivity turns on the lamp, thanks to the static electric shock.There is an adjustable timer and the lamp delivers soothing mood lighting.
- Unity Sofa
This project hides the chairs under a slipcover the very same way the socks hide our feet.A new spin on the idea of sofa design, the individual chairs here get together to form a functional and comfortable seating unit.
- Five Toes Coffee Table:
The Five Toes Coffee Table stands on five legs (inspired by toe socks) and is assembled/disassembled using socks as clasps.Moreover, the table is flat packed and can be easily carried from one place to the other.The coffee table can be given a colorful makeover by using different colored socks.
