9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

As we integrate personal technology into our daily lives, the spaces we inhabit evolve from purely functional, comfortable, and efficient locations for work, play, and relaxation to statements on our lifestyle, tastes, and self-image. Of the attributes in our spaces we can control, furniture has the greatest effect on how our living spaces reflect our personalities. This course will thus focus on the design and physical prototyping of smart, multi-use, transforming furniture that can elevate our modern living spaces to unique showcases of our individuality.
