Objectified
What makes a body, what makes an object?
Objectified is an anthropomorphic armchair inspired by fashion, designed to encourage users to treat furniture with care. By giving the chair a bodily presence, it promotes empathy and long-term attachment, shifting behavior from consumption to care. Sustainability is achieved through emotional durability, repairable construction, zero-waste knitting of the textile, and a 100% local, low-impact production process in the Netherlands, from latex foam to final assembly.

Lilas Patard
A 23-year-old French designer and recent Design Academy Eindhoven graduate, she moves between fashion, furniture, and decorative painting. Fashion is her first language, but she extends it toward objects to work within an industry that mirrors her values. Through crafted surfaces and bodily forms, she seeks to create intimate, emotive furniture that invites care and redefines how we live with objects.
