The Pressing Matters Floor Lounger has been created as a collaboration seating solution by supercyclers and the Seljak Brand as recycled furniture piece that doesn't disappoint when it comes to relaxed style or comfort.
The seat is made with recycled mattress filling that has been shredded before being compressed into a circular shape that is ideal for sitting, lying down or even meditating, if desired. The piece is perfect for public spaces including libraries or yoga studios where visitors require more relaxed furniture and seating solutions are required to keep inhabitants comfortable.
The Pressing Matters Floor Lounger is one of five finalists for the 2020 Australian Furniture Design Award and was previously displayed in the Stylecraft Melbourne showroom.
