Plex

Modular Furniture Series

From modular furniture like tables and chairs to large assemblages in a landscape, the Plex series developed by Orproject, offers users a chance to play. Multiples of the single folded steel component, and its mirror, can be assembled and re-assembled according to personal desires and needs resulting in a multi-use product that encourages creativity through design.
The design of the component consists of a folded metal plate with predefined connection points that offer multiple possibilities of connection between two pieces. The uniquely designed geometry and connection points offer a chance to grow those assemblies into a variety of structures – from practical furniture to use, to large abstract constructions. For this project, the components were used to construct a stool, chair, a shelf and a table. The prototyped furniture was constructed using 4, 6, 8 and 16 modules. Various other experimental possibilities were explored digitally using computational tools. The modules can be customized to various colors and metallic finishes. Facilitated by their modularity, the user is encouraged to arrange and re-arrange the components, exploring design and creativity through play.
