The Spaces furniture system aims to break boundaries. not just the classic boundaries between object and space, tearing away from the confinement of a white cube – the Spaces products work in context. The Spaces system also aims to break boundaries between designer and user. The design, based on a series of interiors EventArchitectuur designed since 2003, was transformed into modules based on functions (in the initial environment of the home office) – endless lines that can be cut at any length. This modules carry the genetic code of the design, the rhythmic qualities of it, while leaving the end result – wether programatic or aesthetic – open for the user’s choice. Here, interface also plays a key role, and the way the system is communicated is crucial for it’s use. This way a system is created, modular not only on the assembly stage, but on the design one.
