roll up – picnic blanket

Ten meter picnic blanket for thirty people, designed to bring all our objects together and create a social interaction.

A picnic can be considered as a cultural event, which used to take place only in the noblest houses, nowadays everyone does it. The shape of the picnic blanket plays an important role in such a cultural activity, it determines the social communication among the participants. Usually, the blanket is square in order to achieve optimal interaction with each person. But if the blanket is to be suitable for thirty people, a square is no longer suitable. Derived from our first Atelier meetings, where we sat together at a long table (like at the last supper), we came up with an idea for the ideal shape of the standard picnic blanket.

Here we have used Semi finished materials with its STANDARD dimensions. Construction fleece has the ideal properties for our picnic blanket. To reiterate the theme of standard, the ceiling of construction fleece is rollable and un rollable, with the help of a simple frame of hard cardboard.
