Prisma by Alexander Lotersztain for Derlot Editions

Product news: these angular lounge chairs and ottomans by Brisbane designer Alexander Lotersztain can be tessellated in an endless array of shapes and patterns.

Created for Lotersztain's contemporary furniture and lighting brand Derlot Editions, each Prisma seat has an angular asymmetric form so they can be clustered together.

Stacked together they can form long sofas, small armchairs or banks of seating. Their shapes allow them to be positioned in the centre of the room, against the walls or in corners.

The chairs are MDF-based, covered in enviro foam and upholstered in fabric or leather. Colours are acidic hues of turquoise, green and yellow.
