Scope by Martin Ballendat for Burgtec

Scope is the future – a design for a complete family of task, meeting, visitor and companion chairs.

September 6th, 2011

Designed by internationally-acclaimed designer Martin Ballendat, the concept for Scope was to design all of the component parts individually using a consistent theme and style, bringing them together to create a whole collection.

The end result gives a stunning visual impact, highlighted by the unique open frame backrest.

Scope has a lightness in appearance and weight, with a low impact on the visual environment.

The collection includes a swivel conference chair, which was recently awarded the coveted red dot award in 2011.

Stacked chairs are available in cantilever or 4 leg, all with elegant lines that allow them to be easily and safely stacked.

The collection also includes a task chair, with a patented pendolo backrest offering new movement capabilities and unprecedented support and comfort.

The Scope range is available in Australia through Burgtec. Visit their website for more information on this impressive new product.
