Project description
Aura – Infusing Space with Life
In the post-pandemic world, workspaces are no longer just for task execution—they must now balance flexibility, privacy, and emotional connection.
Born from this shift, the system draws inspiration from corals, marine life, neural cells, and atomic bonds, weaving nature and science into a structure that breathes life into the office. Like coral reefs that nurture connection, its branching modular table supports both focused and collaborative work.
Lightweight screens connect through O-ring openings, easily joined with rods and bases to form soft, breathable partitions. Round connectors link seamlessly with the table, whose four interlocking panels create a sturdy yet adaptable base.
A soft apple-green gradient and curved metal frame echo natural and molecular forms—shaping space without isolating it.
Through hands-on prototyping, every curve and joint was refined for balance and fluidity. Conversations with Gen Z revealed a desire for emotional safety, freedom within gentle structure, and real connection. This system answers that need—quietly adapting to new ways of working, thinking, and being.
More than furniture, it’s a living framework—an invitation to build, connect, and imagine what comes next.
