The Up and Down collection reimagines leisure seating as a catalyst for creativity through bodily movement. In a world where we spend most of our time sitting, it offers a unique experience that supports both lying close to the ground and sitting at standard chair height.
In its elevated position, each piece retains a gentle instability, encouraging flexibility and subtle motion. The legs are filled with loose, lightweight material – stable when upright, yet able to transform into cushions when unfolded.
The design embraces the idea that our bodies are made to move and should do so more often. Rather than creating obstacles, it invites a playful balance between rest and activity. At its core lies a simple conviction: nothing changes if nothing changes.
