The Akrus bench is made of metal, emphasizing clean, simple lines and functionality. Its form follows a curved motion, creating a structure that is both solid and dynamic; inviting use and allowing for various sitting positions.
What makes the bench special is its modularity: multiple units can be combined in floor plans to create different compositions, adapting to the context of the space and users' needs. Movable wooden elements, placed within the metal frame, serve as flexible surfaces for sitting or placing objects. Their movement introduces playfulness and interactivity into the everyday use of the object. This gamified element is inspired by the abacus, a counting tool, further reinforcing the bench’s connection to rhythm, dynamics and user participation in shaping their own seating experience.
