The Smooth Void- The Lounger

The Smooth Void is a lounger which demonstrates the potential of knit as not only a cover or decorative element but also as upholstery. While textiles often serve as the ‘finishing touch’ in both tactility, The Smooth Void’s knit is central and fundamental to the comfort experience.   The Smooth Void offers a variety of ways to get comfortable in both laying and sitting positions. With this lounger, both object and body complement each other and create a singular vibrant expression of comfort. The organic and minimalist shape represents a specific aesthetic atmosphere, which is brought to life with colour and design coherence. It is a balance of artistic beauty and functional expression.    The lining of the woollen upper surface follows the shape of the frame and disappears into a ‘void’. Around twenty layers of a cotton-Lycra fabric tunnel are stretched over the base padding. The result is a high level of tactility, which promotes physical and emotional comfort.  Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Home Furniture
