The Networker explores the relation we have with the natural world. The shelving system is inspired by the intricate design of a spider’s web – a structure spun from the spider’s own organic material and used as an extension of its sensory engagement with its environment. This concept finds a parallel in human culture where we store knowledge in spoken, written, and now digital forms, creating a network of information exchange.
