• Objects that provide privacy in public spaces
• Tutor: Ville Lausmäe

The purpose of the work was to analyse objects in public space, their characteristics and use. The research conducted in different spaces led to exciting conclusions that directed further work process. The most interesting discovery was post as a provider of privacy and how posts can be used in urban spaces to create a better environment. The final outcome of the work is a designed post, taking into account previous research, aimed at offering people privacy, a sense of security, and a better environment. The post includes an armrest element that extends into a tube and creates a private corner around the post where a person can isolate themselves to establish a boundary for their personal space.
