NESTMINFIQ: armchair / Afiq Akmal Aswadi

NESTMINFIQ is a comfortable and long-lasting bench made from a modular structure and populated with living creatures and plants. This seat was created to allow people to socialize while surrounded by natural living elements. Users can discuss what type of bird nest they have, share their knowledge, and much more. This design's goals enable users to communicate and connect with others. The natural living components can help intro­verts connect (but it still depends on their preferences towards the living things, as Introverts can be biophilic as well). According to studies, humans have a natural desire to experience, reflect on, and bond with nature on a physical and mental level, and recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of nature in the built environment for people's health and wellbeing. Natural elements near people can promote relaxation, depression, and make them behave emotionally and mentally.
