Shelter

Busk + Hertzog for Globe Zero 4 (Denmark). From Interstudio.

October 10th, 2011

This chair radiates prestige, being the perfect lounge chair for either contemplation or communication, and yet it is all about cosy meets elegance . Shelter is a sculptural and multipurpose piece of furniture which by its quality in shape and design also offers a high level of comfort.

The high back surrounds the user and offers a luxurious isolation from the surroundings. Therefore, it is perfect for private communication by e- mail, Skype or phone, and without people in the relative nearby area being distracted. Shelter creates a small oasis from disturbing and perhaps noisy surroundings. It is also possible to create a small intimate sphere when more Shelters are put together, and the room will at the same time almost become a sculptural park. The piece is poetic, organic and dynamic and unites the concepts that need unifying to obtain perfection.

Create pleasing and functional sculptural pieces within your surrounds by upholstering Shelter in a refreshing colour, and see the aura of sheer class take over the space.
