The Softscape modular lounge now at Stylecraft is the inaugural collection for new brand ‘LEN by Helen Kontouris’.
April 1st, 2014
The result of an 18 month collaboration between Kontouris and Stylecraft, the Softscape collection is a new way to work, meet, relax and interact.
Suitable for both contract and residential settings, the Softscape collection, available exclusively through Stylecraft, features the incorporation of optional accessories including integrated power, lamps, coat stands and planter boxes within the modular units. Designed and manufactured in Australia, with over 25 seating modules, there is ultimate flexibility to create the seating configuration that suits the requirements of the space.
Helen Kontouris is one of Australia’s most recognised designers, having won two People’s Choice Awards in the space of three years at the annual IDEA Awards. Last year Stylecraft introduced her Penelope table collection as a component of the inaugural One Third collection. Helen’s designs have been commissioned by other leading local furniture distributers together with international brands including Alessi.
