About this product
Architonic ID: 1525650
Year of Launch: 2015
Combine is a seating system of reduced form characterizes by the profile of the lower side of the backrest. Depending on the choice of wooden or steel legs and optional cushions, the style and the application context of Combine varies, enabling the user to define his or hers own preferred character of the sofa.
Concept
A standard sofa with feather cushions served as the starting point in designing the Combine. This standard form provides the most comfortable sitting but it is usually very voluminous. Our solution introduces sloped lateral and rear parts of the backrest, which results in both visual and literal reduction of the backrest's volume and height. Horizontal surfaces following the line of the extended seating and laying module are designed to serve both for sitting and putting things away. Depending on the selection of wooden legs and extra cushions, the Combine's style and context of use change, offering an opportunity to every user to define the character of the sofa individually.

Numen/For Use
Austria
Product design group For Use was formed through collaboration of Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljkovic in the year 1998. Two members studied at the School of Design in Zagreb, while Katzler studied at High School for Applied Arts in Vienna. Since then the group designed furniture and objects for companies such as Cappellini, ClassiCon, Desalto, Interlubke, Magis, MDF Italia, Moroso, and Zanotta. In 1999 the group realized several important exhibition design projects and established Numen as a group name for projects realized outside of the field of industrial design. In the initial stage the group worked together with Jelenko Hercog and Toni Uroda, graphic and multimedia designers. The work was characterized by experimenting with rule-based design and radical reduction of form in the tradition of High modernism, mostly applied to total-design projects . In 2004 Jonke, Katzler and Radeljkovic started developing set design projects for various theater companies which led to a major breakthrough in 2005 with set design for Infierno in Centro Dramatico Nacional in Madrid. Since then the group designed sets in Belgrade, Berlin, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Madrid, Merida, Osijek, Rijeka, Skopje and Zagreb, mostly with directors Tomaz Pandur and Aleksandar Popovski with whom they developed a continuous cooperation. In 2005 Numen/ForUse established the first design oriented brand for quality furniture in former Yugoslavia - Element, designing visual identity and initial furniture collection. The group has since managed artistic direction and product development of the company. The group has simultaneously developed interior and exterior design projects, usually working with 3lhd and Imarea architects, the most important of which is the integral design of the waterfront in Split realized in 2007. From 2008 on Numen / For Use has been designing objects and concepts without predefined function, resulting in projects like Numen-light, Tape and NET. Besides these prominent realizations, the group has been awarded several international prizes for their work in the fields of set and industrial design.
