escapsule by troy backhouse from australia

Teenagers typically yearn for solitary time to contemplate their experiences and figure out who they are. The ESCAPsulE provides a private space for that journey, a space to mould an identity. Within the chair the teenager seeks refuge and discovers calm. They are hidden from the outside world while discovering and creating their own world in a contained space. The chair itself features inner pockets to hide personals and a flip down desktop to hold a laptop.
The design combines a retro style beanbag interior, with a buff, smooth roto-moulded polyethylene exterior. It moulds together material and aesthetic trends from the past and the present in sync with teenage fashion.
