TUOHINEN FAMILY
HAMMOCK, TATAMI, SOFA
Tuohinen Product Family was a team work with Riku Toivonen and Mikko Lanne. Our bachelor’s thesis introduces a product family made by experimental upholstery weaving technique and the process behind it. The guiding element in our thesis was the process and experiments. The results for structural and visual solutions were exposed through multiple experiments. With the furniture solutions we wanted to improve the atmosphere and working-environment in the new Niemi campus. Our bachelor’s thesis is presenting the product family including the three different prototypes. Tuohinen-product family consists of a sofa, tatami-modules and a hammock.

HAMMOCK
A hammock designed for public spaces is the third part of our thesis. While building this flexible hanging element we faced challenges unlike the ones we had handled in the previous processes. The hammock differs from the other products in the family with its massive size, bigger grid dimensions and technical solutions. The pillow tubes are connected to the bottom fabric by straps and fabric stickers. Colours and fabrics can be selected to suite different purposes.
