SUSPENSE
PENTA-VERSION
This design is defined by two lines from the side. This sketch is a cross sectional representation of the side view.
There is the main outline that is shaped like a person seated and leaning back comfortably which based on research is among the most comfortable sitting positions. The line that arches at the bottom represents the stand which on this case could be a recliner. Half of the seat is suspended in the air slanted and supports the upper half of the human body thus the name.

If you were an insect, minding your business, going shopping or something, and you walk past this seat from this angle, you would very much want to climb the slopping surface shaped like a mountain and probably skate down from the very top. With the dark background, the seat looks suspended mid air floating by magic.
The side profile gives a more detailed view of the seat from the ¾ view. The seat looks like a futuristic version of Alladin’s flying carpet, where you would sit on it and in no time you’d be cutting through the air. Simple as it is, one can’t help but feel it’s dominating presence no matter what angle you look at it from.
Without the cushions on the inside, the seat looks this simple with just two materials, the woven part that you seat on and the frame that supports the structure. The seat could be used as it currently is but when combined with the cushion on the inside, the experience is quite on another level.
The back profile gives a more detailed view of the seat from the ¾ back view. The simple lines brought out by the highlights, the metallic frame, woven underside support and clean top cushioning exterior are designed to be stealth yet give off a very strong and dominating presence any time you look at it.
