The SOMA Chair interprets the draft of a lounge chair in an easy way. Honesty in shape and material, strong in its appearance but reduced on the substance.
The chair consists of several elements. The seating is appealing and filigree but defined as a closed unit. Limited through the stainless steel frame and shaped with vertical elements of a cantilever chair, the SOMA Chair´s leather seating generates a smooth and body adapting seat.
The tubular frame borders the chair and focusses the view on the single layer of natural tanned leather. Tied on to the frame by hand, this leather seating is made to last .
The apeareance of the tubular frame and planar and smooth leather is continued in the lower part of the chair. The casted aluminum stand captures the planar outlook of the seating in its flat tails. A cylinder made of the same material provides the junction to the frame.

The SOMA Chair started as an university project featuring the topic of “stringed seating”. We created the concept for a lightweight lounge furniture as well as a first prototype within the given project time.
The result was already promising and the teamwork went great when we decided to take the next step on creating a prototype that involves every process needed to be mass produced.
Next to leather there is also a KVADRAT textile version of the SOMA Chair.
The SOMA Chair was the main project of our both - Florestan’s and Janis’ practical Bachelor exam.

The tubular frame borders the chair and focusses the view on the stretched and shaped fabric. Attached with zippers, many opportunities of individualization are given.
The combination of the tubular frame and planar and stretched fabric is continued in the lower part of the chair. The casted aluminum stand captures the planar outlook of the stretched fabric in its flat tails. A cylinder made of the same material provides the junction to the frame.

Imagine our furniture would tell us a story. Maybe it is just an inspiration but strong enough to be enriched by our fantasies and
dreams.
The LUNAR Table tells the story of new beginnings in a far away world - the childlike fantasies about infinite space and the incredible expectations in what may be hidden there.
In fact LUNAR seems to be a spaceship. The ride through the gathering darkness towards a shining star in the distance...
The materials used for LUNAR are glass, brass and coated steel. They refer to the space travel material aesthetics of the 60s. The layered, colored glass forms an inwardly deepening space with a machined brass connection in its center. The coated steel legs define the lower structure of the table. Related to the different stages of a rocket, the connection of the tabletop and the stand is made of brass components. All these elements are joined by a single screw from the bottom.

RETURN is inspired by the appearance of a space capsule gently falling towards its destination. While being stabilized by its parachute, RETURN swings slightly through the air.
The body represents a formal counterbalance to the light cone. A touch switches on the light. After being touched the lamp slowly returns into its initial orientation.
The base is made from brass and contains a high efficiency LED. The reflector catches the light while the carbon fiber structure absorbs every swinging of the lamp.

MODULO opens up the possibility for the user to select the desired cabinet elements. He can choose from modular elements and configure the Sideboard to his requirements. In this way the system can be determined in width, equipped with drawers, compartments, sliding and hinged doors while the elements are colored in a personal color scheme.
The aluminum frames form the vertical supports of the sideboard. They arrange the elements irrespective of whether they are - open units or units closed by doors, drawers or covers.
The horizontal lines are wooden elements running over the entire width. They finalize the corpus. The powder- coated sheet metal elements separate visually from the anodized aluminum frames and the wood. This forms a unit between the supporting, repetitive components and the appearance of the elements individually chosen by the user.

In a playful manner, YUMA invites us for having a conversation. By sitting at the table the user enters into the table’s space. The user’s lower body dissolves symbolically in the decreasing transparency of the engraved glass.
The YUMA Table reveals its definition of a table - discovering its character through its glass tabletop.
The table consists of three elements. They not only interact with each other, but also reflect the surrounding space and recreate it.
The polished and adjustable aluminum feet shape the transition from the ground to the main frame. They reflect the environment and lead it inside the table.
The legs are made of triangular tubes. Their shape describes the space between the ground and the tabletop while visualizing the course of forces.
The engraved float glass tabletop defines the table’s visual mass center.
Sometimes space is not immediately recognizable as such. We have a seat at the table - eating, talking, debating and philosophizing. Our conversation creates its own space within the room.
The table is the stage.

Inspired by the insignificant structure of wood paneling in concrete buildings BRETON captures the beauty of this natural influence. The surface creates a haptic experience. The appearance of a wooden board is deceiving. It is concrete – cold and heavy but filigree on its surface. In contrast to this heavy material the thin brass mountings support a light, almost levitating look.

Large: 110 cm x 24 cm
Small: 55 cm x 24 cm

One of nature's majestic pieces of art.
The male deer shed its antlers in an annual period. As a found object this unique trophy is transformed into an abstract wardrobe. The polished concrete stand represents a visual counterweight to the natural shape of the antler – clean and reduced to its requirements as a base.
Satined copper gently combines the organic horn with the casted concrete.
