Can a table shape the way we interact? Re/Assemble explores the dinner table as more than furniture - an active tool shaping behavior, identity, and communication. Beyond its functionality, this thesis challenges the flat-pack approach of brands like IKEA by restoring meaningful experience and intentionality to everyday interaction. Through packaging, instructional, and interaction design, Re/Assemble invites users to rethink their relationship with the table - as a designed system that transforms routine encounters.
