Tranquility

In Touch

Inspiration

As society accelerates and people are pushed to live increasingly efficient lives, transportation inevitably carries the responsibility of keeping up the pace. But where can people pause and take a breath? Is there a way to offer moments of relaxation, without compromising their work, simply by making their personal space more comfortable?

❋ Mono-material

This project was guided by a mono-material design strategy, using bamboo as the sole material to explore its diverse structural, tactile, and formal potentials.

❋ Transport interior system

Redefining modern transport interiors through sustainable innovation and a refined natural aesthetic.

❋ Knitting textile technique

The knitted textile’s inherent elasticity allows it to adapt fluidly to diverse interior geometries.

❋ Highly sustainable

Ensuring the highest level of sustainability throughout the entire process, from material selection and dyeing to the final knitting stage.

This work evokes a passion for life and a sense of ease amid the stress of daily routines. Inspired by moments of relaxation — at a resort, on a sofa, or in a bamboo lounger — the palette centers on warm brown tones, with minimal contrast. Natural dyes give the colors a soft, muted quality, refined through extensive material testing to create a calm and comforting atmosphere.
