Made with the blue polystyrene foam commonly used to make architecture and design models, 'Blue Cabin' explores the concept of flexible and mobile workstations. The team was influenced by their own work scenario in the old studio - needing a more intimate refuge within the large warehouse space, they used a construction workers' trailer for their meetings and lunch breaks.

The 'Bath Crate' is a bath and a bath room rolled into one. A vaporizing condenser fills the space with steam when the crate door is closed, creating a multi-function compartment that works to dry clean clothes and acts as a sauna at the same time.

Despite its obvious functional purpose, the 'Clock Crate' coaxes the viewer to forget time with it's muffled ticking, enabled by the outer cork casing. This balance between keeping time and disregarding it is a preoccupation that highlights one's work and leisure modes, made all the more significant by the leather work apron and pyjamas hanging on either side of the clock.

The 'Vacuum Cleaner Crate' makes tea times easy, working to clean the crumbs away after each tea break. Fashioned like a trolley complete with its teaset balanced on top, the crate is a comical representation of the interaction between an appliance associated with work and an object usually used to relieve the strain that workout.

A personal grooming console complete with its own accessories, 'Vanity Crate' has a surface that looks hard but is soft to touch - the surface of the crate has a soft dark brown material that feels like a towel.
