The Problem
How might we create well-being and longevity through children's furniture?
Target Demographic
The primary demographic is children ages 6-13, and as the user enters teenage/adulthood they will become the secondary user.
The Solution
Bloom is an ottoman surrounded by six petal-shaped cushions that can be set down for lounging or raised to create a fort structure. When the user outgrows the flower design or needs more space, they can remove the petal cushions and keep the ottoman. The ottoman has internal storage space, as well as a flippable lid that can reveal a coffee/play table. The intent behind this project is to create a piece of furniture that can grow with the user from childhood into adulthood.
