Ugress (Weeds)

‘Ugress’ is a furniture series that explores an imposing and expressionist approach to modern furniture
design. By utilizing algorithmic technology, the furniture grows its own shapes digitally and tributes the
mathematical representation nature has had in art and ornamentation. The growth principles are based on
the same as in nature, which illustrates a correspondence between natural growth and computing power.
Still, with their unpredictable shapes and form, ‘ugress’ reflects on the unfamiliarity nature represents to
many, as strange and intimidating. Fully functional, the furniture was built using small-scale and modern
production methods.
