Akanksha Singh (M Des 2020-22) is the First runner-up at the ADI Battle Of Projects 2022, in the Furniture Design category. Spindle is an interactive bench that lets one fidget, play, and relax through its tactile experience. It has hundreds of wooden beads that rotate to give you an acupressure massage while you’re resting on it. The concept behind this project was to develop a mechanism that initiates a subconscious interaction with the user, making it fun for anyone who comes across it. Channeling people’s fidgeting energies, spindle allows them to unwind and focus. Guided by Dr Neelakantan, Professor at the Department of design.
