Story
Modular elements
Serpentine was designed by Tom Dixon in 2003. The system is built from three central elements and two corner elements, a closed corner and an open corner, which are put together into a composition. Each module cannot be used as a free-standing piece.
Covers and feet
The Serpentine covers are not removable. Inside each element sits a steel frame under cold-injected polyurethane and polyester fibre, and the feet are powder-coated steel with height-adjustable glides.
