What is ROSy

ROSy (Rotterdam System) is a modular interior structure based on a perforated board pattern.
It comes in a variety of parts and pieces which can be joined for almost any need.
Build your own working structures, shelves, storage systems, exhibition booths,
fair structures, shop systems... and change them around quickly to suit your needs!

Plus: return them if you don´t need them anymore.
ROSy has an embedded take-back-system: It is a material library,
that takes back parts and pieces and gives them another meaning at another place.

Sebastian Kubersky

Artist, loves the sledgehammer as much as finessing details. Weeks of squinting in front of the screen are followed by weeks of meticulous production in the workshop. All this is combined with a touch of bricolage responding to the installation´s needs on location.
Sebastian studied philosophy at Universität Hamburg and Fine Arts at HfbK Hamburg.

Christine van Meegen

Designer, occupies an out-of-the-box approach towards projects. She strives for understandable and simple designs. She is the initial spark for ideas, she conceptualises and brings people together, all topped with an insatiable material nerdism. Christine has a background in interior architecture and studied Social Design at Design Academy Eindhoven.

Learning to share

She lives in Edinburgh.. He lives in Rotterdam..

The past restrictions imposed by the current pandemic on travel and required quarantining have meant that Mark and Aline have been separated for approximately one year now – with their relationship reduced to an online existence.
Recently they have been discussing the possibility of their return to the Netherlands to start living together again.
As self confessed (soft) hypochondriacs, this period has had a profound effect on their ability to socially engage with other people and both have developed their own very specific needs for space and interactions. With the thought of their reunion, questions arise –
How has the past year of living in isolation affected our spatial and interactive needs? Do we need to temporarily redesign our spaces to not only physically accommodate the change but also allow for physiological and emotional reintegration?

Can architectural and interior interventions and systems rethink how we use/share shrinking space in the centre of cities? In the context of the current pandemic our spaces in centre cities are shrinking while our individual need for space is expanding in order to accommodate our fears, concerns and safety. How do we redesign our immediate spaces to accommodate these new emotional needs?

The research explored the gradual reintegration of shared space back into their lives through a self documented autotheory - a return to social engagement both with each other and with the world around them. With Aline contracting Covid-19 on her arrival, the residency had the perfect start to exploring the process of reintegration.

Mark Henning combines performance, objects and communication to design and unpack social and spatial interactions. He has recently completed a Masters in Social Design from the Design Acedemy Eindhoven.

Aline Fantinatti is Brazilian and is currently based in Edinburgh. She has a bachelor in international relations and a master degree in gender studies from the University of Utrecht. Aline is passionate about challenging colonial narratives about gender and advocates for an inclusive and anti-colonial feminism.
