asymmetrical lounge chair and swivel table are integrated for 'moment', a seating design by amsterdam-based feiz studio


'moment' by feiz design for offecct


an asymmetrical lounge chair and swivel table are integrated for 'moment', a seating design by amsterdam-based feiz studio 
for swedish furniture company offecct. 

'noticing that we rarely 'just sit', we started to reflect on all the activities we do while sitting: all the moments that we read, 
we drink a cup of coffee, we work, we engage in conversation… 'moment' was born out of these situations.' khodi feiz.

an ergonomic cup shape is the supportive seating element of the furniture object. the cold-foam moulded and upholstered structure 
is finished with a powder-coated aluminum swivel tray. this surface is able to fold either in or out depending on the activity of the user. 
the design is also an exploration of private and public, testing the notion of openness in a public setting through the form of an object. 
the lounger was on show at salone del mobile during milan design week 2012.
