designer's own words:

Teen - depict change, playful.
Furniture - depict rest, order, old.
Both are poles apart, and seem contradicting.
"HEP-Hazard" is a furniture which integrates 2 parts one study and other relax in a beautiful form. The relaxing area can be used for casual readings. The furniture comes with a unique stool which is a bit repulsive form at the first instance, as the top is unusually protruding up. While the stool is quite comfortable and colourful, the teen who owns it, only knows that it is very soft foam on the top (which is removable as well). The top soft foam compresses fully as one sits and retains its shape as you stand up. The stool is like this because teens generally do no want anyone to fiddle with their things or just sit around without asking, as this is their personal area. Anyone who enters the room would think twice and ask before sitting on one of those. On the top of this the stool is actually a storage for keeping ones loved, secret childhood treasures and other personal things, cd's, story books e.t.c. which are not so frequently used.

The flat table area can be used for keeping computer monitor, books e.t.c while the CPU can be placed under the table. The 2 smooth table legs take care of comfortable leg room.

Teen socializing is sitting around informally and at ones convenience. Its not structured organized formal sitting. The furniture creates a relaxed informal atmosphere, and is a response to certain emotions.
