Sitting in a Forest is like floating on a cloud

Andreu World has been busy at work honing their furniture making skills and introducing new and unique seating options. The Forest Club, a collaboration with Philippe Starck is one of their latest outputs. A modular seating collection that takes molded plywood and intelligent joinery to design furniture easily broken down to reuse or recycle with ease. It is a step in the right sustainable direction and at the same time harkens back to medieval woodworking and joinery techniques in the use of an evolved clavet—a handcrafted, strong and original closure—to join the pieces of each Forest seat together, as Starck states: “Technology allows us the minimum: a few small kilos of wood, 2 pieces, 6 wooden keys, 2 cushions, for the maximum comfort and longevity.”

Forest’s molded plywood fold and hug soft and cloud-like cushions and are locked into place by clavet, easily assembled and unassembled for sustainable purpose. All of these design details garnered it a Best of Sustainability Award at NeoCon 2021. For more information, contact me.
