Mappel is inspired by the form of a maple seed. Using natural and organic forms and curves in this seat is pleasant for the user. The ergonomic forms provide comfortable sitting. The soft flow of curves inspired by maple seed is also ergonomic to sit on. The seat is aesthetically pleasing for urban spaces with no hard tones to disturb the visual scenery. This seat is a double modular bench, this means that it can be used solo or in pairs. Each module is about 3*1.8 meters and resembles a seed cut in half. When placed together they complete the form of the seed.
