task: coworking furniture
collective project, 2021
team: mehralszwei.studio
Working has changed drastically in recent decades. In times of open space and coworking offices, work is characterized by a fast, moving and changing environment. It is important to create spaces for communication and exchange of different professions to enable a dynamic work situation.
In this project we wanted to rethink working together by developing a dynamic piece of furniture that allows people to interact with each other and to switch flexibly between different postures during their work day.
positions
components
6 birch plywood
2 round birch bar
140cm felt
12 screws
the main materials felt and wood are both regional available and renewable. The design took into account both washability of the felt and repairability of the frame.
the felt is looped through the plywood panels. the side parts hold it together with screws and the round birch bar in the seat tightens the felt.

process
collective
We are six friends who met through our studies and who share the same passion for design. Together we bundle our motivation into projects and have the vision to pass on our fascination for products through our work.
lobbyarbeit was designed in view of a competition and was our debut as a collective. We do not see design work as the work of one single person, but as a team effort. That's why we named ourselves mehralszwei.
