Laura Pint is an architect who currently works in the Peeter Pere Architects office. She has graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts architecture and city planning department. Besides her main work, she likes to work with her hands and experiment with different media. Be it building furniture, sewing or leather work.
Laura’s goal during the residency is to delve into unconventional furniture design and explore alternative spatial configurations, blurring boundaries and redefining the relationship between the space and its users.
She is inspired by the idea of finding ways to make everyday standardized space more interesting, exciting and flexible. During the work, she plans to experiment with different forms, materials and construction methods. The goal is to use material waste and offcuts from furniture production and through it advocating for more sustainable ways of production.
The final result of the residency is a piece of furniture based on the month-long study. Laura aims for the piece to not only reflect the results of her research, but also to be a practical example of how architecture and furniture design can jointly contribute to an environmentally friendly and creatively thinking future.
