As an intern at Industrial Facility, I was tasked to part lead the commission for an installation in the NEW/OLD Exhibition at The Design Museum London.
”Amazin Apartment, designed by Future Facility, creates the experience of heightened domestic simplicity, where appliances are reduced to their most essential interface and all anxiety about their operation and maintenance is removed. In the installation, three segments of a typical Amazin wall have been created to demonstrate the visual and functional differences between the apartment and service sides. For example the washer/dryer has a single button with one setting, not endless interfaces. It is positioned at standing height, with a shelf below, to avoid the need for bending down.”
”The back side of the walls house the Amazin Service corridor, organised like an advanced warehouse, so that goods and services can be passed through, historically analysed and replaced as needed with minimal impact on the Apartment, allowing staff to repair or replace an appliance should it break - all without staff entering the apartment. In short, the Amazin Apartment was a concept for a future living scenario where everything is serviced by Amazon.” - Future Facility
