DESIGN NAME: Mappel Bench
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Urban Seat
INSPIRATION: This urban seat is inspired by the form of a maple seed. When looking at a maple seat I discovered what a complete form it has and that inspired me to use the form for creating Mappel.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Using natural and organic forms and curves in this seat is pleasant for the user. The ergonomic and bionic forms provides comfortable sitting.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Mappel is a bench with an organic design. The soft flow of curves inspired by maple seed is also ergonomic to sit on. The seat is aesthetically pleasing for urban spaces with no hard tones to disturb the visual scenery.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in early January 2015 and was finished up until late February of the same year.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The seat are made out of woodplast which is a more sustainable alternative to wood. The structure is made out of stainless steel for compelling look and durability.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Mappel is a double modular bench, this means that it can be used solo or in pairs. Each module is about 3*1.8 meters and resembles a seed cut in half. When placed together they complete the form of the seed.
