Strictly unconventional
Designed for writer and producer Faezeh Jalali’s play Strictly Unconventional, the set responds to a series of short, bold, and emotionally layered stories about relationships that defy convention. The play moves fluidly between multiple narratives — a gay man and a polyamorous woman discovering happiness, a trans couple confronting prejudice on a talk show, and others exploring love, regret, and vulnerability. To hold these shifting moods and contexts, the stage demanded a design that was equally dynamic and adaptable.
The solution was a modular system of furniture that could transform in real time. Each module — lightweight, lockable, and mobile on casters — could act independently or combine with others to create entirely new forms. A single unit might serve as a sofa in one scene, then rotate and merge with two more to become a bed in the next. Another element could act as both a chair and a stool, extending the versatility of the stage composition.

A collapsible tri-fold screen made from recycled timber and translucent fabric introduced a poetic layer to the set. With lighting, it transformed into a canvas of silhouettes and shifting shadows, echoing the play’s emotional transition
