design studio maezm is made up of young korean design duo cho eun whan and shin tai ho who explore design in all its possible forms: space, lighting, vision, image. they will be exhibiting as part of this year’s designersblock london, presenting their projects ‘table dish cover’ and ‘sofa-dress’.

made from urethane foam, the ‘sofa-dress’ explores the suggestion of furniture. the act of putting the ‘clothes of a sofa’ on an existing chair, makes the previous object become a more comfortable piece of seating.

the ‘sofa-dress’ can fit over just about any chair, making it a more comfortable form of seating

‘table-dish-cover’ is made from injected molded silicon

maezm will also be exhibiting their ‘table-dish-cover’. the flexible table cloth substitutes dishes and other serveware making it possible to prepare food anywhere just by spreading it over a table. when the meal is over, the ‘table-dish-cover’ is removed and washed. made from infected molded silicon, the flexible cloth of dishes can be folded, rolled or crushed, bringing a new way of life that is not affected by space or time limitations.

maezm’s ‘table-dish-cover’ was a short-listed winner of designboom’s MACEF dining in 2015 competition.
