The concept for this lounge was the idea of the arctic glacier, and LAVA developed a methodology to virtually design arctic furniture and print it into the real. It was a virtual exercise with physical form as outcome that cut new ground for realising and materialising a usable product. Using precise digital tools the design for the furniture was sent digitally to one of Europe's leading CNC-milling-engineering providers, to be shaped from off-cut foam-blocks. It was then coated with a glossy paint and gradient to enhance the artic concept and ambience.
