The old Morfi School was an empty building, primarily used as a polling station on election days and occasionally by the women’s association for gatherings and dancing. With no basic infrastructure, the range of imagined uses remained limited and repetitive. This is where a bench, a table, a kitchen counter, or an exterior gathering area can transcend being mere furniture designs to become territorial interventions. By inhabiting, dreaming, designing, and building these infrastructures together, Morfi and the surrounding region are beginning to shape a new open and public space for developing and organizing diverse activities. This space also serves as a workshop for caring for the landscape, local mythologies, and places.
The following furniture pieces were designed and constructed during two workshops of the Greek cycle, held in Morfi, Thesprotia, Greece, in May and August 2024.
Working group consisting of members from Collectif Etc (kitchen and campsite parliament), Zuloark (tables and path benches), together with architecture students from NTUA, POLITO, and ENSAG collaboratively designed the furniture to transform different spaces in the school and along local paths, guided by the general requests and master plan of Tirilab.
Bellow, you will find the instructions and the the exact numbers and types of the needed material, as well as the constructing procedure for one of furniture pieces step by step, so you can make your own!
