Plover is a multi-purpose chair designed for classrooms, seminars and collaborative workshops. The chair supports several sitting postures. Users can sit in the conventional front-facing position, or sit back-to-front in a horse-riding posture. The characteristic feature of Plover is an integrated tablet that forms a small work surface. The tablet also serves as an armrest for side seating or as a higher seat with a footrest. The chairs can be used individually or grouped together for discussion and co-creation.
Inspired by the natural pattern of ocean waves, the Kromme Table uses a single strip of veneer to symbolize the continuous flow of the sea. Crafted entirely out of solid walnut, the veneer sections are laminated using thin pieces molded together to form a sculpture like curve. Minimal supports crafted from aluminum are added for strength. The glass top provides a clear view of the wood grain beneath. The Kromme Table is a sculptural statement for those who want a piece of furniture that is both stylish and functional.
Designed by Joana Santos Barbosa, the rounded forms of the Niemeyer II armchair are influenced by the modernist House of Canoas of Oscar Niemeyer. Having a refined design with architectural details, this armchair is minimal and yet a statement piece. The upholstery work is meticulous, with seams reduced to essential, in order to reproduce the backward movement of flat roof when seen from an aerial view. Upholstered in a special woven bouclé, this welcoming armchair receives people with a gentle embrace and feels the most comfortable place in the room.
Multifunctional is a mirror designed for small living spaces. The unit combines a dressing mirror, a coat rack, a storage tray and a shoe mirror in one piece. Geometric hooks hold coats and bags. The tray in the middle holds keys, watches and glasses. The angle of the tray can be adjusted, and a mirror on the underside works as a second mirror. Set flush with the upper mirror, the tray forms a full-length mirror; turned downwards, the tray shows shoes. A beech wood base adds stability, and flat-panel packaging reduces transport volume.
