Forming a 2 x 2 sqm cube when conjoined, the collection of four objects was born out of P-M-A-A pondering philosophical design concepts such as “room versus furniture; furniture as an artefact; artefact as an object; a set of objects as a collection”. Currently, they reside inside a 30sqm room with 3.5m high ceilings. This lucky kid scored the big room!
The furniture set includes a staircase, a closet, a platform, and a cushion. Each component is a different material and colour, including the natural timber frame, mirrored cabinets, white cushions and red stairs. This was intentional so that the elements could be completely separated if desired and still function as independent objects without looking lost or out of place. The concept aims to allow the set to change over time, evolving just as the child does.

Though mathematical and highly ‘designed’ in its puzzle-like form, P-M-A-A’s collection of objects have an inevitably playful appeal. We can totally imagine wanting to go and hang out at this kids house if we were school friends. Actually, excuse us while we lament the fact that we didn’t have custom, architecturally progressive childhood bedrooms.
