Australian studio Sibling Architecture created the Deep Calm exhibition, which explores sensory design in architectural spaces as a part of Melbourne Design Week. The exhibition runs from May 15-2,5 and it is comprised of custom rugs and a range of weighted soft silhouettes in a warm pink room. Visitors interact with the objects, lying on the rugs, engulfing themselves in them, and more.

Sibling Architecture speaks about the design, “We found that the sensory spaces that were most loved by the students were the ones that enabled students to interact in a way that encouraged a cause-and-effect understanding of their bodies in space – where a certain action such as squeezing through a tight space produced a certain feeling. We began looking into this more and started researching deep pressure therapy.”
