DESIGN PROCESS
Light Swings Inspired by Human Movement
We were commissioned to design a series of lightweight swings capable of comfortably accommodating 5 to 6 people. Drawing inspiration from the human body's muscular system, which promotes and enables movement, each swing embodies the dynamic forms and fluid strength that make motion possible. The result is a sculptural yet functional piece that invites interaction, balance, and a shared sense of motion.
