Inspired by the ‘One a Week’ project by designer Rachel Vosila and the Powerhouse MPavillion Chair commission, this free drop-in activity invites you to design a series of chairs that consider the properties and function of unique materials found in the Powerhouse Collection.
Using our design prompts, sketch your ideas into a zine. Select your favourite design and create a small model using upcycled materials. This activity is designed for all bodies and abilities and encourages family collaboration.
