TUNEOUT | Objects for Mindful Procrastination (at Work)

Inspired by hammocks and naps, TUNE OUT is a project based on procrastination and its positive relationship with creativity. 

TUNE OUT explores the concept of procrastination—the science of putting things off. Procrastination is known as a negative and irrational phenomenon, but unexpectedly, it is also a basic human instinct and a virtue for creativity. TUNE OUT rethinks the experience of procrastination in a mindful way, transforming stress and pressure into pleasure and satisfaction. Mind Blanket and Chair in the Clouds activate common concepts that are key to tune out: "the mind going blank" and "having the head in the clouds".  

Both, Mind Blanket and Chair in the Clouds, were designed to enhance and turn procrastination into a playful situation creating the perfect environment to daydream, doodle, stretch and even nap. The goal is to break the monotony, bring enjoyment, and change perspective in any working space. Move up or down, and tune in or out!

Mind Blanket: soft good – blanket/wearable – fabric – 90% cotton 10% nylon – 36"x48"
Chair in the Clouds: furniture – high-chair – steel – tube 3/4" – 24"x40"x78"

Designed and made by Peruvian designer Loreta Haaker in Brooklyn, New York. 
MID Thesis Pratt Institute Spring 2017.
