At last, somebody has put an end to awkward lingering. Lumber lets people hang, lean, linger and loiter without the unnecessary physical strain of sitting down only to get back up again. Developed for places where traditional seating or chairs are redundant or too spacious, Lumber is a playful rest area ready to be taken on by both Suits and school children.
Lumber stems from the idea of the mobile office, a stop on the way, and as the name suggests, a soft beam for a quick rest. Designed by Addi, Lumber appears to be in movement, much as its user on their way to or from a meeting, waiting for an appointment or perhaps food pick-up. With no obvious back or front, Lumber can be placed in most spaces and even hung on a wall for maximum expression yet minimal space. A little side table enables a quick meeting over a coffee or a touchdown with the laptop. The beam is upholstered with flame proof wool in a cover fully removable, reparable, and exchangeable. Its legs are made from powder coated metal, everything produced and assembles in Sweden and chipped in flat pack.
