This project is an introduction to studying the relationship between furniture and spaces from a phenomenological point of view. The purpose is to get a deeper understanding of this inter-action emphasizing character, expression and atmosphere. This is done through analyzing two concrete spaces and designing furniture for them and inspired by them. The designprocess is used in the project as a method with the aim to increase spatial comprehension. The two chosen rooms that are analyzed and designed for are the Church ofVårby Gård from 1975, by Swedish architect Harald Thafvelin. Together with the foyer of a former highschool on Kungholmen, Stockholm, from 1960 by famous architect Léonie Geisendorf. The church is analyzed using Peter Zumthor’s phenomenological theory on ”atmosphere” whereas the former highschool is analysed more intuitively. The project has an experimental character and is pervaded by the discrepancy between theory and practice. The result is three prototypes inspired by the rooms in terms of expression, atmosphere and function.
