spacebreak

lounger, 2023

Spacebreak is a lounging solution developed for the „Festool“ brand. Its design encourages us to elevate our legs, resulting in a beneficial effect on our health.

In the design process, the focus was on adopting the design language of a brand. Festool is synonymous with precision, quality, and efficiency. Spacebreak adheres to these standards to make the concept of „putting your feet up“ more appealing.

The form enforces a reclined position where the legs are elevated above the heart. This promotes circulation, respiration, and digestion, leading to a quicker, more vital sensation. In semi-public spaces, this has gained a leisurely image due to the absence of furniture designed for this purpose. The use of Spacebreak aims to consciously support the act of „putting up your feet“.

Spacebreak is composed of four separable materials. Extruded aluminum profiles are fastened together with injection-molded plastic connectors, forming the frame of the lounger. The textile is held in place by steel rods running on the inside of the profiles.
