Story
A retreat for one
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec introduced Alcove Work in 2010, with an update in 2021. The high version reduces visibility and sound around the sitter, while the lower model makes interaction easier.
Individual seats that can gather
Vitra notes that several Lowback units can be grouped to create a meeting arrangement without a separate conference table.
