The original Garden chair, designed by Peter Opsvik 29 years ago, is now re-launched in a new version by Moment AB. In the updated version the branches of the tree continues down and become supporting footrests. Garden is an icon, an art object and eye catcher. But it also offers numerous comfortable sitting positions. “Our ancestors lived in the trees! When I designed Garden in 1985 I wanted to show how the norms of ‘sitting nicely’ and ‘sitting correctly’ can be broken.” With its spectacular height the new Garden is adapted to function in public spaces, such as forums and meeting points, since the person waiting can both see and be seen in the crowd. The Globe Concept is developed by the Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik, renowned for the classic high chair Tripp Trapp, the office chair Capisco and the revolutionary Balans concept. Together with its cooperative partner Moment AB, the Opsvik company has developed an entirely new concept for the modern and flexible workplace. The Globe Concept was created to inspire curiosity and make sitting active – in both public spaces and offices. ”Conventional workplaces will be challenged by compact units that better suits our new, more flexible and IT-driven way of working” – Peter Opsvik.
