AAP

One of the first home-office inventions in history “Cabinet Bed”.

Invented by Sarah E. Goode, 1885.

In 2020-2021 cycle, AAP will focus on work environments. Continuing with the theme “Small Scale Decent Change”, the program will investigate how small scale design can contribute to the places we work. Small scale has always been a strong tool to generate solutions for the workplace, not only to integrate office facility to our homes but also to customise outsize work environments. It was 1885 when Sarah Goode designed a cabinet bed, which becomes a writing desk to transform a part of the house into office space when necessary. Considering new technologies, social change, the economic crisis which is multiplied by Pandemics, AAP will investigate how small scale design once again could be explored for new possibilities workplace requires.
