The Quintessentials

Nesting Furniture for the Ever-Mobile Millenials

The Quintessentials is a furniture collection designed to solve portability and comfort issues for people who move often.

Through research, I learned how often people (in this case, Millennials), move around for work and the physical and emotional stresses associated with moving. People need a simple furniture solution that gives them flexibility, enhances their feeling of home, and is easily movable for when they are ready to pack up and move once again.

Ethonomics also played an important role for this project as I wanted to address the emotional sides to moving as well. This concept of designing for peoples’ wellbeing inspired the shape, materials, and colors of this furniture set.
