Different seats shape how bodies behave. This relationship between posture and atmosphere materialise into Sedeforma —a "Social Scaffold" for shared spaces that can generate different social conditions.

4 steel modules combine together to create a variety of seats: Lounge chairs, benches, stools, and more, all while remaining structurally sound, ergonomically coherent, and visually complete.

Individually, the modules form furniture; collectively, they become spatial infrastructure for different social atmospheres

With proportions and dimensions derived from classic seat typologies, Sedeforma’s modules come together to recreate the heights, angles and depths that feel familiar and optimised. In use, Sededorma disappears.

A grid-like construction allows for additive compositions to look resolved, with straight lines being utilized to unify the group instead of optimise for the indivdual.

Dominant usage of tubes allow for a configurable system to be visually light and structurally sound at the same time, with unique bent expressions giving the structure a needed organic quality.

An identical pin locks every module together easily, allowing for quick configurations that feel intuitive and secure.

Multiple connections had to be engineered to work with the same pin diameter and length, reducing the number of unique parts. Less parts = Less Decisions.

Tapered spigots help to align modules together during assembly, enabling the manual alignments of human gestures to be translated into precisely positioned configurations
