Setting up camp.
Children move through a world designed largely by adults, except for the spaces they make for themselves. Like treehouses and forts, all it takes to create a new space is a little invention. Pier Pressure is inspired by the ingenuity of children, who form their own environments using everyday materials and tools. This adjustable tabletop system is suspended from wooden legs held in tension with string. The design is simple to assemble and lightweight to ship.
