Description

‘PBA’ is a project that integrates the user from its conception so that through its use it is the user who develops its symbolic, aesthetic and functional possibilities. The design is based on modular pieces made from recycled tire materials which can be integrated by means of connecting pieces. Its initial purpose is based on transportation, from the functional to the aesthetic symbolic. The design and layout of the pieces give the user the possibility to explore the way the pieces are arranged and integrated according to their needs.The pieces are open source, allowing users to not only unbrand and produce them themselves, but also to transform and share them with others. The name comes from the prefix Post, as in what happens after, inspired by the concept of post-production worked throughout the project, and the importance it has in the process of consumption by users.
