Furniture, houses, and objects that incorporate flexibility and multi-functionalism have long been associated with the modern and the contemporary. Living in Motion explores these phenomena in design and architecture while also locating them ethnographically and anthropologically. Living in Motion is divided into six thematic sections that classify the objects according to their capabilities: Transporting, Assembling and Disassembling, Folding and Unfolding, Adapting, Combining, and Wearing and Carrying. Transporting encompasses a wide range of objects, many of which offer a new approach to how we move our possessions and ourselves.
