Designer Assaf Israel has sent us images and text about his D&A modular seating system.
We’ll leave it to Israel to explain:
–
“My name is Assaf Israel and I am an Israeli product designer, Now living in London. I would like to interest you with a new Product I have designed – D&A modular public sitting system, which brings different people together.
“I attached a general picture of it and in case of interest I will explain you further more about the idea behind it:
D&A Sitting Sphere
A modular sitting system for internal public spaces
The D&A sitting system encourages interaction between people by making the public space more inviting and pleasant. It allows sitting options which vary from formal to non-formal sitting.
This freedom of choice on how to sit makes the users feel more comfortable and open to communicate with each other. The 4 units of the system create a unique landscape, change the atmosphere in the public space and bring us closer together.
The system is made out of rotation-moulded polyethylene which is then covered with foam. The finish is given by spraying flexible polyurethane or by upholstery or fabric.

The D&A modul seems to be very intresting, comfortable.
It could be located in universities, in waiting rooms,
in libraries, in any place or space where sitting in leisure and reading or resting the body for a while is needed. It is also very friendly shaped.
I can see it located in airports while waitting for a flight..
I wish you the best of luck with this great design, and I hope to see it located evrywhere.
