The project titled "Imaginary Friends" addresses the growing concern of children in modern, often single-child families in Asia becoming too reliant on technology for companionship. The initiative reimagines furniture as interactive playmates that engage children in traditional games like hide and seek and rope skipping, aiming to replace tablets and iPads as primary entertainment sources. While the furniture in motion is designed more as a satirical and slightly melancholic commentary on loneliness and the lack of sibling interaction, its primary goal is to evoke emotional reflection on the diminishing human connections in an increasingly digital world. This project seeks to highlight the importance of emotional investment in children, who represent the future, urging society to reevaluate the effects of rapid technological advancement on the youngest generation.
