Focused around 1655 Dupont's original interior wood columns, this furniture piece encourages occupants to engage with one another in a warm and inviting setting for dining, conversation, and relaxation. Thoughtfully designed for the disabled and elderly in mind, it caters to users of all abilities. It features materiality that offers comfort and durability whilst having distinct, intuitive zones for various activities. Inspired by the use of the handrail, each mode of occupation is focused along the line, with each mode clearly distinguishable and easy to identify in order to accommodate varying (dis)abilities and cognitive states, and become easily adaptable for various configurations.
