‘mesh sofa’ by people’s industrial design office

in developing their ‘mesh sofa’ outdoor collection, people’s industrial design office wanted to achieve an effect where the person sitting on the furniture looks as if they are floating in air.

each piece is composed of two parts: the upper seating portion is made from a thin curvilinear mesh (4mm steel wire) which has been manipulated to relate to the contours of a person’s body. the openness of the grid offers a certain amount of transparency and visual lightness. from above, the employed material creates a perfect square grid, projected onto a curvilinear surface, offering interesting views from different vantage points. the lower supporting base is made from 40mm thick stainless steel tubing that has been welded into a rectilinear form, its mirrored surface reflecting the surrounding environment, further adding to the suspended effect of the mesh upper.

the entire set includes a double-seater, two single arm chairs and a coffee table which is available in various color options.
