We devised organically shaped seating in three different sizes with the aim of making the sophisticated mall interior and the dynamic spatial geometry of the architecture visible and tangible to visitors. The material used is CFRP, carbon fibre reinforced plastic. As a result the seating islands are surprisingly lightweight and easy to transport despite their bulky size. The material and shape pay homage to a luxury car-loving target group in the motor city of Stuttgart. With their flowing contours, reflective surface with a visible carbon fibre laminated structure and elegantly upholstered black leather pad that serves as a cushion, the seating islands embody all the qualities of a racing car. In the context of the shopping mall, they become vehicles of relaxation. 3D machined moulding, hand-laminated carbon mats and leather cushions that are sewn by hand onto the carbon corpus all go to make up the unique nature of these seating islands.
