Design by Numbers is created by a group of 2nd and 3rd year students from Lund University School of Industrial Design. The theme stems from a workshop on sustainable furniture for the future, held by Sigga Heimisdottir, in October last year.
HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH Seating furniture inspired by statistics showing the level of life satisfaction in various parts of the world. The statistics have been translated into three-dimensional shapes creating peaks in places where satisfaction is found to be the highest.
