Build Your Own Throne is an interactive urban furniture project with two key aspects: it invites the community to contribute to public space by creating collaborative designs and empowers individuals to craft their own seating. Developed and showcased at Dutch Design Week 2024 as part of Project Next Up, the installation explored how making something personal in a public space fosters creativity, connection, and a profound sense of ownership.

The results were inspiring— Hundreds of thrones were created and participants expressed joy, creativity, a sense of control, and pride in their creations, demonstrating how such projects can enhance community engagement and deepen attachment to urban spaces.
