Sitting is an everyday act, and at the same time a cultural activity. Seating structures spaces, defines postures, encourages you to stay a while, or signals distance. The exhibition “STAY – Textile Seating Items” is dedicated to sitting and presents ten experimental designs by students from the Department of Textile Product Design at Kunsthochschule Kassel led by Prof. Ayzit Bostan.
STAY is presenting these pieces in the X-D-E-P-O-T by way of a snapshot of an open design process. The exhibition offers us an opportunity to see how young designers bring curiosity, precision, and a zest for experimentation to bear in renegotiating the relationship between body, material, and space – and reveals seating to be something that goes far beyond merely taking your place.
