Functionality is meant to satisfy a need, momentarily, when it is actually requested. Putchair elaborates this thought by acting as a possibility, rather than a solution. It can be formed into simple forms to support in diverse situations but being able to dissolve when not used. 216 black spheres form a nearly immaterial black mass. Being assembled, Putchair can be a side table, awkward object or simply a cubical stool. The project does not follow a distinctive formal language, its aesthetic is rather based on its materiality: squishy black rubber, spotted with Velcro dots.

My name is Alicia Rühr, I am 21 years old and currently studying industrial design in my fifth semester at the University of Applied Sciences, Munich. After one year of studying informatics at the TUM, I changed to design in 2016. I am also involved in independent projects such as the DOC. student magazine of the faculty and the student council. In 2018 I was accepted into the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes - the top scholarship for outstanding students in Germany.

My vision of product design does not only include the object, but also demands an interdisciplinarity within and beyond the boundaries of the discipline. Responsibility for people and our environment should be at the heart of every design process.
