Bonding is a two-person seat that is conditionally functional. It finds balance when two people use it simultaneously. Otherwise, in a more selfish behavior, it collapses. Critical design has been the inspiration source, since the designers’ goal was to make a social statement about the human alienation of modern times. Creating a simple, modern and symbolic design, while achieving a conditional functionality has been an engineering challenge. Static study simulations were performed to cope with this. Metal sheet bending is the main manufacturing process for the item.

The designers met during their studies as design engineers at the University of the Aegean. Although their paths were separated, they try to collaborate in various projects from time to time. Loukas Chondros is a senior designer at the distinguished Greek agency Mousegraphics. He is an awarded designer, mainly working on visual identity strategy and packaging design. Ioannis Kanellopoulos has moved to Denmark where he obtained his Master's in Design and Innovation. He now works with Danish startups and focuses on industrial design and rapid prototyping.

Bonding is a design initiative between two friends that studied and worked together. The two team members are design professionals that have worked with various projects. Their main skills are multidisciplinary, since they revolve around visual identity, product design and rapid prototyping.
