Product description

Penta - Furniture design usually requires a choice between subtle and distinctive. But what if you want both? Our solution to this problem comes from our own architectural research: in our work as architects, we often need to place furniture and other design objects in rooms and spaces. One of the recurring challenges is matching the geometry of the room to the expression of the object. An interesting fact is that round or round-shaped objects generally do not disturb the linearity of walls and floors, while square objects - e.g. a square ottoman - must be placed exactly in line with the walls. Otherwise it will always be out of sync with the rest of the room, giving it a "messy" look. However, a perfect circle is a generic
geometric shape and does not provide sufficient characterization. Instead – in our research – we found that the pentagon is the best shape to combine some geometric integrity without having to conform to the surrounding order. In other words: it has a distinct shape. However, you can place it any way you want and it will always be well positioned. To improve the shape function, we rounded the pentagon (sides and corners) in our own way. In the ottoman, the shape is also a transformation from a circle to a rounded pentagon. Thanks to this, the Penta ottoman is both subtle and distinctive. Wooden base. Upholstery made of polyurethane of varying density. Feet or wheels in black.
