Two new furniture designs have been developed by Hella Jongerius: the RE-Lounge Chair and the Bubble Desk. Special versions of them are available exclusively for the U.N.
Bubble Desk, 2011
Due to its striking hood a bubble of privacy is created in the internet table.
Materials: dark oak and milky light blue polyester (semi-transparent).
RE-Lounge Chair, 2011
The RE-Lounge Chair is light and mobile. This is a context in which numerous informal discussions are held; a static routing of heavy items of furniture would be diametrically opposed to that liveliness. The RE-Lounge Chair caters for the demand of changeability because it enables several configurations.
Materials: legs of dark brown wood and steel; upholstery ‘U.N.’ blue fabric (Daphne) and dark brown patches of leather on the armrests and the back of the leaning;stitchings of bright blue.
