Summary/Artist Statement
Re/Assemble
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.
Adiba Tamboli is an experimental visual designer whose work blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the conceptual. Rooted in storytelling, her approach embraces mixed media, interactive elements, and unconventional formats to create immersive design experiences. She often plays with perception— through installation , book/editorial design, typography or motion graphics. Her design language is thoughtful, investigative, and layered, reflecting a deep fascination with how form, structure, and context shape meaning.
