Welcome is the third exhibition put on by Hae/Hi Designing Friendship, a design collective consisting of fourteen design studios from Seattle and Iceland. Each object in the show were created for the entry of the home.
As we come and go from our homes, there is a small collection of objects which joins us on these journeys. This catchall cushion creates a resting place for these objects, giving both object and user a moment to slow down while coming in the door. The softness of the tray is indicative of typical resting places - a cozy chair, a couch, or a bed - and the form draws from the objects it is meant to house - a wallet, loose change, or a pair of sunglasses.
