Description

‘Ronda Senso’ is an open furniture concept consisting of a low base and an accompanying flexible and modular mobile unit. The name ‘Ronda Senso’, Portuguese for ’round sense’, refers to the round shapes and the different senses that are stimulated when using the furniture. Everything goes hand in hand because all the senses are connected. This project was about making better use of the space and connecting the different activities and corners. My vision for the space was to create a more natural, open image, with harmonious colours and shapes that are in harmony with the function. Like the morning circle, my furniture concept should give the children a sense of security and develop their skills. Support in the right places, but also build their confidence. Montessori, Pickler and also Reggio pedagogy were important influences for the furniture concept.
