30 Jan There’s a New Chair in Town: JumpSeat by Sedia Systems
Stadium seating is pretty standard: bulky, uncomfortable, and aesthetically dull. Reimagining a well-known chair poses a few obstacles. How would it support great weight and virtually disappear when not in use? Because we vie for sustainability and customization when it comes to our products, we were happy to be shown one at our showroom. Exuding clean, modern lines and born in Portland, OR, this is the JumpSeat by Ziba Design.
JUMPSEAT – ZIBA DESIGN
Made of plywood and steel, designers were inspired by the human spine and cantilevered structures. It is available in three different styles which is optimal in today’s education, healthcare, and corporate markets. The JumpSeat can be customized through a wide variety of colors in the choice of fabric or felt. Wood surface options come in a standard, stained, or premium veneered finish.
