suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.
Alexandra KARLSSON: The prompt for the project was to create a new idea for an office space appropriating everyday objects in order to formulate a design. These objects were photographed, collaged, and subsequently made into unfolded architectural drawings. My collection of objects attempts to evoke a restaurant concept which resulted in a working space blurring the line between an office and dining experience.
