T.R.I.A.L. (Test, Reuse, Innovative, Assemblage, Lifecycle) is a sustainable furniture system designed for students who frequently relocate. It creatively repurposes discarded furniture using advanced technologies such as 3D printing and digital fabrication. By combining reused components with custom connectors, it provides adaptable, sustainable, and personalised furniture solutions while addressing the environmental challenges of fast furniture culture.
