Story
Informal working and lounging
The Seating Stones are cheerful, free and variable, and create generous seating landscapes for informal working and lounging in an often formal world. Users follow the possibilities on offer: sitting or lounging around, relaxing or concentrating, alone or in dialogue.
Inspired by nature
The series is inspired by nature and fulfils a yearning for the archaic and primal form of seating. It combines lounge chair, silent, tub and side chairs, pouf and occasional table, with no limits to the arrangements for creative spaces such as open space offices, lounges and entrance areas.
