Wall O Wall Seat
Wall O Wall Seat is an innovative architectural furniture design that represents a sophisticated fusion of functionality and aesthetic minimalism, conceived as a wall-mounted capsule that creates a private sanctuary within various spatial contexts. This thoughtfully engineered seating solution, designed by Swiss designer Grégoire Gurtner, emerged from the concept of utilizing underutilized wall spaces while providing a cocoon-like environment that offers both acoustic and visual privacy. The design, measuring 760mm x 500mm x 1720mm, features a radical yet elegant envelope constructed from recycled PET material, complemented by high-quality eco-friendly textile interior finishes that underscore its environmental consciousness. The seat's innovative mounting system achieves a floating appearance through concealed fixation methods, maintaining its clean, minimalist aesthetic while ensuring structural integrity. Developed between November 2020 and June 2022, this versatile piece adapts seamlessly to residential, commercial, and institutional environments, offering a unique solution for creating intimate spaces within larger areas. The design's acoustic properties, achieved through its PET felt construction, effectively absorb ambient noise, creating a serene microenvironment for users. Its thoughtful integration of sustainability, functionality, and aesthetic refinement earned it the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, recognizing its contribution to innovative spatial solutions and environmental consciousness in contemporary furniture design.
