During the pandemic, all over the world, social distancing pushed governmental organizations, cultural institutions, medical centers, schools, theatres, restaurants, stadiums, transportation structures and private companies to urgently produce graphic signs in order for half of the seats on the planet not to be used. 1000 of this unprecedented intensive production is gathered in this film confronting us to this question: What should we do if sitting might just be what kills us? This film marks the beginning of a long-term research, focusing on the intimate relation existing between Humans and Seats that was abruptly disrupted in January 2020.

Sitting might just be what kills you

Designed as a usable workstation, the OpenStructures Work-Station makes a selection of parts from the OpenStructures digital database available to the public at the Maison POC via an accessible archive. This physical collection of interchangeable and compatible parts is complemented by a workspace where visitors can get their hands dirty in a practical assembly and prototyping workshop.
