About Omni Многофункционален стол

Omni е градинска мебел, проектирана да функционира както като място за сядане, така и като плот на маса чрез завъртане. Формата ѝ се отличава с извити силуети и органични форми. С оглед на човешките взаимодействия и ергономиката, Omni е проектирана да предлага оптимален комфорт в различни седящи позиции, като същевременно осигурява подходяща височина за използване като маса при завъртане. Благодарение на лекото си тегло, Omni позволява безусилно завъртане, придвижване и пренареждане, осигурявайки повишена гъвкавост и комфорт на открито.

Adjustments of the curvature and shapes
Research
We looked into the typical forms and arrangements of public seating, examining the interactions between individuals and public seating, as well as the limitations in functionality and aesthetics commonly associated with such seating.
Ergonomic considerations guided the adjustment of curvature and shape, optimizing comfort and usability. Feasibility studies using scaled physical models helped validate and enhance the design concept.
Inspiration
Omni draws inspirations from the growing appreciation for outdoor experiences in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic times that many traditional indoor activities are now being transferred to outdoor settings. Designed to enhance human interaction and expand outdoor possibilities, this versatile and flexible piece combines seating and tabletop functionality, addressing limitations both in functionality and aesthetics of traditional outdoor arrangements.
