LG Surfaces Student Design Challenge 2010

Date Added:  March, 10th, 2010Organically inspired, Barco is a multi-functional lounge unit that enhances both social and solitary events. Depending on the desired level of social intimacy, as many as five Barco units can be arranged in a full circle, pulling together a group of at least 20 people interacting with each other. Barco features a foldable table and loveseats for up to two couples, retractable hemp curtain for shade and privacy, and adjustable aluminum lights on the ends of the branches for reading. These operable elements allow travelers the freedom to accommodate themselves based on their needs. In turn, this freedom allows for self expression, planting the roots of “where life happens.”
