Space-Saving Seating - Yanko Design

Space tin be a limiting gene when it comes to furnishing the interiors of commercial spaces, with communal areas being restricted or seating being placed in walkways causing an inconvenience and proving a hazard. The Landing aims to offering a solution to this space-related problem, and it does so in an unobtrusive and rather ingenious style.

Landing's designers recognized that seating doesn't have to be a permanent feature; occasional and short utilise leads to the items of furniture being a hindrance rather than a assistance. Landing consists of two basic sound-absorbent modules: a flat one 60 x 60 cm in size with an element upholstered with 10-mm-thick foam and covered in material and an equally large three-dimensional moulded relief chemical element that can be used in iii ways depending on the manner it'south fitted: as a shelf (with an additional powder-coated steel surface), rotated vertically by ninety° as an upright method of creating a zone, providing a screen or a cosy corner for leaning on and turned 180° horizontally to perch on. The modules are placed in associates frames and tin can be used in any number of combinations. They meliorate acoustics, create lilliputian corners for chats or phone calls, offering spaces to exit drinks or smartphones and take the strain off people's feet. The covers come in seven standard colors to tap into more than design options and permit Landing to be used as color-coded signage systems.
