DESIGN & RESEaRCH
STYLE
NEVER
RETIRES.
Movement and furniture go hand in hand. Getting up and down from a chair. Taking a spot at the dining table. Relaxing into a couch. So our design principles are shaped by research into how bodies move in the aged living sector.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
THE SIMPLE SEAT AND THE GOLDILOCKS TEST.
How do we know our chairs are just right for someone in a later life-stage? Because we ran a seating study with the Queensland University of Technology People and Systems Lab.
Research & Development
“The act of standing from a seated position is a physical task performed regularly throughout a day, and is one of the most important measures of physical function.”
Rodosky, Andriacchi & Anderson, 1989
Systm
NOT JUST A CHAIR.
A TOOL.
SYSTM features removable seats for easy, thorough cleaning, built on durable, damage-resistant aluminium frames with the warmth and appearance of timber. Developed with QUT and Clandestine Design Group, and awarded Best in Class at the Good Design Awards. Add smaller copy: Winner of Best in Class at the Good Design Awards
Du
A CHAIR THAT HELPS YOU STAND.
No cords, no power, and not a lift
chair. The du chair works with the
biomechanics of standing up, designed directly from our research.
Winner of Best in Class at the Good Design Awards and German Design Awards. Current nominee for a Kismet Award.
You may not visibly see the science in the beautiful chair. But it’s there, because we invest in researching what works and how to make every piece better for those using it.
