Inspired in a curvilinear natural line of a human hair, the motivation to design this object was to create a single piece with different positions to enjoy it. The dimensions and angles are solved, in order to find the most confortable postures to embrace the users emotional moment. One can sit, chill out, lean or lay down. The creative challenge was to balance the whole in one continuous surface. The intention was to approach the furniture design by testing it as an interpretation line of thought related to everyday situations and correlate it with the modern society, history and values.
