Design Overview
Tangent designed by Ai3
MODULAR LOUNGE
TANGENT DESIGN OVERVIEW Perhaps the greatest feature of Tangent is the longevity that it affords a space. This product has been designed to have the capability to change the way a space functions through simple reconfiguration. Designers can now offer multiple alternatives within one budget, creating designs that can be refreshed and reinvented as needed.
Designed by Ai3
Tangent is a new breed of modular seating, which allows for limitless variations and offers a wide variety of seating within a limited square footage. A simple composition of ottomans, benches and backs, it operates as a refined system, snapping easily together or apart through a series of plugs disguised as upholstery buttons. This series was designed to be as flexible as possible to accommodate various positions and parties and gives designers the ability to customize spaces, large or small. Electrical ports can be specified to power up with ease in any location and overlay tables provide hard surfaces for beverages or writing surfaces without taking up additional floor space. Optional removable top gives you the ability to use the benches and ottomans for storage space. Two wall height options can be specified and the width of the back and corner pieces are configured to maintain a sense of personal space from side to side, but aren’t so wide to as to discourage interaction.
DESIGN DETAILS: • BENCH: 18" overall seat height 5" top-seat cushion 1.875" thick wood top • WALL UNITS: 30" and 41" overall back height option Top row of buttons 11" from top of back Bottom row of buttons align with seat Buttons recommended if planning for reconfiguration • BUTTONS (optional): 5½" from top and sides 11" apart
