designer's own words:

We started the idea with an attitude that teenagers are not the group of people that share the same thoughts and thinking. So we came to the conclusion that not even the three of us were the same as a teenagers. Each of us had a different point of wiew about the world and the way we created it for ourselves.
Inspiration for the design we got from the animated movie ?Surogat? by Dušan Vukoti? ( The academy award winner in 1962. for the best animated movie ).
In this movie the main character is creating his own world by inflateing everything around him ?people, things, beach…
Our idea was to make it possible for teenagers to create their own furniture by combining several elements depending on their needs.
The furniture has to be fun, light, easy moveable, even available for taking on trip, vacation… ,resistable, cosy, and when we are angry with whole world or something like that we should be able to kick it, but not breake it :) !!!

Our thoughts were going towards something multifunctional ?
something to sit or lay on it in any occasion.
It is multipurpose, multiparts package for inflation stored in it´s own multifunctional box.
It is set of seven elements, basic element is cube dimensions of 45x45x45 cm,and when all these elements are puted together they also make a cube dimensions 135x135x135 cm.
As a package the box is an element for itself, it contains little compartments for storing elements when they are deflated.
This box can serve like a temporary table or little container.
Dimensions of the box also are 45x45x45 cm, with openings on every side ( for storing elements when they are deflated ? !!!
All these inflating elements can be with some matching and overlaping used in many diferent ways?elements are in few diferent shapes ?
two of them in the shape of ?H?
two of them in the shape of ?T?
two of them in the shape of ?I?
and one is a cube
+ pump for inflating all elements.
Mainly ?the basic element is air and space where these inflated elements are set.

deflate and match
