The cocoon 1 is the most in futuristic furniture as it seeks to confront people's understanding and relationship with furniture as we know it.
While inside the orb-like structure, one will experience the enjoyment of tranquility and solitude all while simultaneously being ever-present in your surroundings. The see-though plastic orb accomplishes this feat by allowing you to see out to the rest of the area while still being comfortable and confined in your own space. As the designer so eloquently states "It is a new type of furniture that transcends the border between object and space and challenges how we perceive furniture."
To complement the orb, the designer utilizes vibrant and primary colors for the Lego-esque cushions, which are movable and versatile to suit your specific needs. This way, you can change up its functionality and positioning however you so please.
Making use of all of your senses, it is as aesthetically pleasing and whimsical as it is functional. This is why the Cocoon 1 truly epitomizes the new age in futuristic furniture.
