THE COCOON: A COLLECTIVE PROTOTYPE

In the spring of 2023, a peculiar cocoon briefly occupied one of the school’s seminar rooms. The structure resembled something between a nomadic tent and a lunar landing module.

In reality, it was the result of collective work in Unit 2/3F, where students transformed one of their semester projects into a full-scale prototype called The Cocoon.

The intention was to leverage the school’s excellent workshop facilities to bring a semester project to life. The students voted on which of their projects should be built.

The semester’s focus was on DIY culture, micro-living, and resource consciousness.

The surface was made up of felt panels – kindly donated by Kvadrat – as well as hand-felted wool insulation panels donated by Villgrater Natur, and thick leftover acrylic felt sewn together.
