A|PART addresses the complex needs of a prison environment by focusing on comfort, privacy, and modularity while meeting stringent client requirements. Designed for both single and double cells, this modular furniture set consists of a desk and two stools crafted from birch plywood with an organic form, aiming to soften the austere atmosphere. The furniture’s modularity allows inmates to customize their space, reducing conflicts over ownership by enabling individual configuration and separation. Built to withstand the rigors of a custodial setting, A|PART meets Ministry of Justice standards, including minimal ligature points and durability against vandalism. It is designed for easy on-site installation, with potential for large-scale production in prison workshops, providing inmates with valuable skills they can use to reintegrate into society. The furniture is also constructed from inexpensive materials, complies with fire resistance tests, and incorporates features to minimize concealment of contraband. By enhancing comfort and privacy while facilitating efficient manufacturing and maintenance, A|PART balances the practical and rehabilitative needs of the prison environment.
