SilenceTop is an interactive microarchitecture reinterpreted from the traditional Korean low-table called ‘Soban.’ The project creates a new form of engagement around the subject of silence in both social to non-social setting, altering the meaning of being alone and the awkward pauses occurring in the middle of the social interaction. Silence is a language of love or the quietude permeating the ambiance. SilenceTop highlights the non-linguistic cues for interaction and reframes the landscape of domestic spaces.
