Zephyr Chaise

The goal is to design a seating system that is fully customizable to user needs and preferences. It will consist of a kit of parts consisting of linear members and nodes that connect together in various configurations. The key feature is that the overall seating form can have double curved surfaces, allowing for ergonomic shapes that cradle the body. It should have some adjustability that can be tweaked by the user. This will allow many seating arrangements to meet multiple layout requirements while providing exceptional comfort through the flowing double curved forms.
