How do you design for community?
Mat_Buckets is back, and this time he’s taken a trip up to Saltaire to visit Matt Kelly, the designer behind Plaey_Workshop. Working directly with his local community, Plaey is a furniture design studio making modern, affordable modular furniture that combines form, function and a sense of fun.
Plaey’s work is often used in public spaces, YSPsculpture, ColoursMayVary and Tate to name a few. As Mat B discusses, Plaey’s work is proof that design made and shaped by the community, for the community, benefits everyone, not just visitors.
