Lebanese designer Roula Salamoun designs the new Archipelago seating and Strata tables with influences from none other than nature's organic processes. Drawing elements of the natural world, the furniture is reminiscent of insular landscapes as well as topographical studies to allow users to truly explore the details.
The seat has sculpted edges that nod to the same way of finding a smooth stone at the beach and how those elements can shape an object. The backrest is designed similarly to how highlands rest along the seaside backgrounds and the tapered base recalls the look of coastal erosion. The tables continue to join the ongoing Strata rug collection and mimic the overall look of cliffs and how sea stacks.
