» Selfmakers « is a do-it-yourself furniture workshop for refugees and their norwegian neighbours. It helps to use the waiting time for something constructive and creative by improving the social structure in and around the centres while preparing for the norwegian worklife.
We also designed a modular furniture system, that evolves when meeting creativity and new ideas. This will be used in the workshops were refugees have the opportunity to build what they feel is nessesary to make their livingspace a more adequate and appealing place to spent time.
The workshop does only need handtools and can be adapted in any center without setting up a special infrastructure.
