The Air by Daniel Garcia Sanchez is a fun two-seater couch that would make a pretty comfortable and cool park bench. Sanchez wanted to create a product that would encourage interaction with the product and would avoid decorative rigidity.
Thick, durable elastic bands and a thin yet solid metal frame make up the body of The Air by Daniel Garcia Sanchez. The elasticity of the material tries to invoke a sense of lightness, weightlessness and comfort -- hence the name 'Air.'
