Area Radius | Low Module Closed

Today’s workplaces are becoming more and more flexible. Open areas for interactivity and fast, creative meetings combined with quiet spaces for seclusion. Soft seating offers relaxed breaks – many types of meetings sharing one and the same area. New technologies allow architects to say goodbye to the traditional meeting room. These environments set new requirements for design and how a product functions within the space. Anya Sebton explains: “With my latest product launch we have taken these ideas into account and studied what type of product could satisfy modern requirements. A product that can offer both visual and acoustic screening in open workplaces.” Now comes the launch of Area Radius, which with its sweeping organic shape makes the possibilities of Area almost limitless. As with the earlier Area, Area Radius is available with either a high or low back. In addition, the modules are available with an open or closed curve, which allows further possibilities for completely adapting the product to suit each unique room. Four modules with an open curve form a circle. All modules are linked together through hidden magnets. Area Radius is fully compatible with Area. Straight and curved modules, open and closed, high and low backs, stools – all integrate with one another and form a homogeneous design, whatever the variant. But that’s not all. Since the magnets in the modules are non-directional, you can also reverse the modules as required. The magnets withdraw into the modules when not linked, which prevents problems with magnetic fields in contact with mobile phones, etc. The style of Area Radius is, like its predecessor Area, timeless and graphic. The diagonal lines that occur in both the shape and the upholstery give the furniture a graphically playful look. An extended, visible sled base forms an attractive and characteristic shape when the units are linked together.
