the ‘pinsofa 1’ by hungarian designer fogarasi zoltán demeter is a life-sized interpretation of a pin cushion. the playful piece of furniture refers to one’s inner childlike qualities through the manipulation of scale. the work is based on the idea that enlarged objects have the ability to generate the feeling of being small, to re-imagine the world from a different perspective. treatment the sofa as an abstract piece, the textile and wooden needles serve as its main structural supports. the project was developed in the royal danish academy of fine arts, school of design, under the title: the new textile furniture with the fabric made by kvadrat.
