Panter & Tourron and Space10 have created the Couch in an Envelope.

Panter & Tourron and Space10 introduce Couch in an Envelope, a speculative design exploration that reconsiders the couch's design to make it more friendly for people and the planet.

Outdated, unsustainable design archetypes embedded in large language models are problematic in algorithms and negatively impacting the future of design.

Presently, AI can only take us so far in design innovation before craft and the human hand needs to intervene.

In this collaboration, the project challenges AI to liberate the design of today's couch – reimagining it as light, easy to transport, adaptable and durable.

This project has been longlisted in the seating design category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
