Nervous Matter

Nervous Matter explores decay as a design condition through a composite system of PLA and steel. The project uses a tri-axial component that forms polyfunctional interior elements — tables, lights, partitions — which respond not through movement, but through meaning. Deployed in a new office at Palak Prime, the system grows from columns and ceilings, densifying in zones of activity. As time passes, PLA softens and steel oxidizes, allowing the material to age visibly. The result is an interior that remembers — one where structure and surface shift together, and where decay becomes the final act of design.
