Stay
Fabric seating furniture<\/strong>

Die Neue Sammlung shows a new exhibition at X-D-E-P-O-T<\/strong>.
It is called: Stay.
The exhibition shows seating furniture made from fabric<\/strong>.
We sit every day<\/strong>.
Seating furniture affects how<\/strong> we sit.
The way we sit and what we sit on also
depends on our culture<\/strong>.

Seating furniture can divide a room into different areas.
It can invite us to sit comfortably or
it can create distance.

The exhibition shows designs<\/strong> by students<\/strong> from
the Kunst-Hochschule Kassel<\/strong>.
The Kunst-Hochschule Kassel is
an art college in the city of Kassel.
The professor for textile design is Ayzit Bostan<\/strong>.
She is a designer and artist from Munich.
In 2023, she received
the Design Award from the city of Munich.

Fabric<\/strong> is a special material for seating furniture.
It can have very different effects<\/strong>:
– It adapts to the body and to movements
of the person sitting.
– It can change people’s moods.
– It can bring people closer together or keep them apart.
– Sitting on it can feel nice or uncomfortable.
– The look of the fabric can change how the room feels.

The students studied old and new seating furniture<\/strong>.
The pieces of furniture belong to
the museum’s collection.<\/strong>
They are not always models.
But they help students think of new designs<\/strong>.

The students asked themselves:
– Does the material<\/strong> change how we feel?
– Does the furniture\u2019s shape<\/strong> change how we sit?
– Do the texture<\/strong> or the way the fabric is made <\/strong>
change how we sit?
– How does seating furniture change a room<\/strong>?
– Are there still new ways<\/strong> of sitting<\/strong>?

The students made seating furniture to
test<\/strong> their ideas.
They used different materials,
like felt<\/strong>, leather<\/strong>, and metal<\/strong>.

The exhibition shows how
young designers come up<\/strong> with ideas<\/strong>.
This shows that sitting<\/strong> is much more<\/strong> than
just sitting down<\/strong> and resting<\/strong>.

Die Neue Sammlung \u2013 The Design Museum
often works together with universities.
The museum supports students
to find new topics<\/strong> for their work.
Die Neue Sammlung chooses topics
that are important to people<\/strong>.
It then shows the results in
an exhibition at the museum.
