Meanwhile Curiosities: A Conceptual Representation of Time

Portuguese design studio Epiforma designed a project called Meanwhile Curiosities meant to act as conceptual representations of time. Mixing unexpected materials and fun colors, they explored new structures with distorted details in hopes of showing the connection people develop with objects the more time they spend with them. The result is a playful collection of functional and sculptural objects and furniture that can be used and played with.
