softseating

An individual element can fan open into a single paper stool or stretch into a bench for up to six people. The versatile form also functions as a low folding table with optional tops made from natural heathered grey wool felt or PaperStone. Stack into podiums for sustainable retail display. Each diameter of fanning stool has a corresponding wool felt pad, which may be used as an optional cushion or soft table surface. Convert any softseating folding stool to a low table with a PaperStone top. PaperStone is a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, durable, non-brittle panel pressed from resin and post-consumer recycled paper and cardboard. Warm to the touch like wood, with a hardness similar to stone, PaperStone is certified food safe by NSF International and Class A fire rated. molo makes PaperStone table tops in brown, grey and black, and sizes to match each diameter of softseating and cantilever table. The PaperStone tabletop material is highly water resistant, suitable for wet environments and finished by molo with a clear, flat/matte, Milesi 7 sheen, polyurethane top coat. The two smallest sizes of softseating are available with a convenient felt tote, for whisking the paper seats off to a gallery, garden party or concert. Brown and blue paper molo furniture is made from wood harvested from FSC Certified (FSC C158591) responsible sources and coated with a non-toxic fire retardant. The textile version of softseating is a recyclable, durable, non-woven polyethylene that is water-and tear-resistant. White textile is translucent and aluminum textile is micro-coated with the actual metal, creating a lively yet soft range of reflected light and shadow. With time and use, the top surface softens and folds into a unique, organic pattern. The crushed facets catch light in a beautiful, variegated way, while the honeycomb geometry of the structure below remains strong and intact. Magnetic end panels form the last layer of each fanning stool, creating a strong, natural clasp for the seats to connect to themselves or to other modular elements.
