Description

This bachelor thesis researches the phenomenon of shadow and how it can be integrated into the design process. In the thesis a design method is developed in which the shadow is used as an inspiration to develop innovative designs. The absence of light becomes a form-giving element. Using the cast shadows of Marcel Breuer's Wassily Chair as a design example, this project presents designs of six pieces of furniture in three levels of shadow-abstraction.
