I aimed to create a collection of furniture that unifies people to recapture the sense of connectedness among family and friends. The Listeners Loveseat explores the ability for furniture to bring people together and aid in social interactions through psychological and design principles. The loveseat is a warm and comfortable embodiment of active listening. Inspired by my late grandparents, stoic and humble, they understood that wisdom is often found in simplicity and brevity, therefore their words held more value. When they shared their stories you had better sit and listen.
