lifelines collection merges painted abstract landscapes with furniture design
kirsi enkovaara reimagines paintings as interactive objects.
Abstract painting covers Kirsi Enkovaara’s Lifelines collection
The Lifelines furniture collection by Kirsi Enkovaara translates painted mental landscapes into a series of objects and artworks arranged in a deliberately fragmented sequence. The collection includes The Lifeline Chair alongside a selection of deconstructed paintings.
The chair is conceived as an interactive piece. Its structure allows the paintings to function like turning pages in a book, enabling users to alter the visible composition and create new visual arrangements. This adaptability introduces a variable spatial experience, where the scenery shifts according to each adjustment.
chair transforms into an interactive painted composition
The starting point for the collection was the disassembly of the designer’s own paintings. Reconfigured into new orders, these works explore the notion of life not as a seamless continuum, but as a composition of separate moments and emotions. Together, the chair and paintings present a study of fragmented yet interconnected experiences, expressed through both object and image.
