Non-Friction World

Non-Friction World is one of the four projects of the Inverse Everything exhibition, presented during Salone Internazionale del Mobile furniture fair in Milan, Italy by HEAD-Geneva. The four inversed scenarios were: world with multi-gravity, world without friction, telepathic world, and world with living appliances.

In the “World Without Friction” project the aim was to envision how the world could develop in the setting of non-friction, where everything is in continuous movement. We envisioned floating cities, since the life developed in non-friction is adapted to being unattached to the world, thus, creating a random life style, lacking any kind of attachment (physical and, in the case of inhabitants, emotional as well). The goal of the project was to critically reflect on the tendency of Earth inhabitants to organization and control over life, as well as to experiment with the interesting outcomes of such an imaginary scenario.
