Design Objective: 

 A Post-Thetic is an exploration into the extension and modification of the human body, employing soft loops, lines, piles and knots to create a dynamically adaptable design. The long noodle-like structures can be wedged within the center of the donuts to create a soft form to sit comfortably or you can use the noodle and donut individually to support different parts of the body. Embracing discoverability, flexibility with multiple iterations, and multifunctionality, each component can  unite as one or stand alone independently. From lying flat on the floor to climbing on the wall, this concept draws inspiration from soft supports like neck pillows and body pillow, while also incorporating functional elements from hard mechanisms such as drawstring toggles and cord locks, challenging traditional norms and promoting playfulness and unconventional usability.
