The design journey began with observations into how tree branches form organic curves from the main branches. This primary driver led towards the sketching of possible supporting structures, and how this could be integrated into the leg of a chair.
“branches reach for the sky in a positive direction, with an openness which is welcoming, like a mother opens their arms to a child before a comforting embrace”
“Comfort, positivity” from findings and initial investigations quickly became keywords and a philosophy in the development of Versity. The angled sides all around give a nurturing warming invitation for its user. “Come let me welcome you is the design message” in addition the soft organic curves of the arms and back cushions bear no aggression in their execution”
“from an outsider looking in Teknion`s pedigree is working with dynamic coporations, in areas of sometimes high architectural minimalist content. The material and design choice for the leg and underframe, had to be harmonious, and appeal to specifiers and architects alike, without forgetting reference to curvaceous nature.
Die cast aluminium offers engineered almost architectural appearance, its reflective polished nature draws emphasis to the sweeping curves and tapered stiletto like aesthetic, and seemed an obvious choice. These castings joined together with a D shaped tubular aluminium structure, that elevates the product from the floors horizon.”
As you approach Versity the underail frames the view providing flashes of complimentary purtity to its organic upper.
The ending design journey is Versity a well balanced, innovatively detailed sofa and chair range, a signature that is evident in the designers work, and has led to many internationally recognised awards.
We hope that the product gives you visually and ergomically as much satisfaction, as it did to work through the stages of development from concept to completion development.
