Omni, an outdoor furniture piece designed to function both as seating and tabletop through rotation. Its form features curvy silhouettes and organic shapes. With consideration of human interactions and ergonomics, Omni is designed to offer optimal comfort in various seating positions, while also providing a suitable height for table use when rotated. Lightweight, Omni offers effortless rotation, movement, and arrangement, providing enhanced flexibility and comfort for outdoor experiences.

Omni draws inspirations from the growing appreciation for outdoor experiences in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic times that many traditional indoor activities are now being transferred to outdoor settings. Designed to enhance human interaction and expand outdoor possibilities, this versatile and flexible piece combines seating and tabletop functionality, addressing limitations both in functionality and aesthetics of traditional outdoor arrangements.

Omni offers a unique rotational feature, allowing a seamless transformation from a chair to a tabletop with a simple 90-degree rotation. Its lightweight construction facilitates easy movement, rotation, and arrangement, enabling users to create diverse furniture sets tailored to different activities. This design promotes human interactions and sparks user creativity. Additionally, the organic curvy shapes of Omni provide a range of sitting options, ensuring comfort and versatility for users to find their preferred seating positions.

Using rotomolding process and fully recyclable polyethylene, the chair can be completely recycled and repurposed when disposed, to help create a more sustainable environment.
