Parametric Design furniture
August 20, 2023
Michaela Crie Stone lives and works in Rockport, Maine, where she creates pieces that push the parameters of function by blurring the lines between art, craft, and design.
Benchwall by Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen from Molo Studio, is a flexible, paper or textile bench with a tall backrest that acts as both acoustic space partition and seating. It is a modern furniture concept which can stretch into straight, high backed seating or sweep into a spontaneous circular meeting room. A modular system with magnetic end panels, benchwall can be used with the larger collection of paper furniture by molo.
Benchwalls connect to one another by magnetic end panels, or to softseating benches to create unique meeting rooms or amphitheater-style seating.
The internal honeycomb structure and pleated surface break up reflected sound and provide acoustic absorption to enhance clarity of speech.
Made from natural lambswool, the 15″ (380mm) diameter felt pad is a perfect cushion for benchwall.
