Originally, furniture was structurally complete, and served to hold books, cups and other objects placed upon it. We can say that this function was one of the most important factors in determining the form of a piece of furniture. This collection presents pieces of ‘weak furniture’ that cannot stand independently until they are made structurally sound through the addition of an object. In addition to increasing stability, the accumulation of objects has other effects as well. It can change the angle of light emitted from a lamp, or expand a bookshelf. Object dependencies is an exploration into new forms created by resetting the once-unquestioned relationship between furniture and objects.

最初，家具结构完整，用于放置放在其上的书籍，杯子和其他物品。我们可以说这个功能是决定一件家具形式的最重要因素之一。这个系列展示了一些“弱家具”，它们在通过添加物体制成结构声音之前不能独立存在。除了增加稳定性之外，物体的积累还具有其他效果。它可以改变从灯发出的光的角度，或扩展书架。对象依赖性是对通过重置家具和对象之间一度无疑的关系而创建的新表单的探索。
