Zeugma Seating Island

Zeugma is a round seating island built for the middle of a lobby: a segmented upholstered ring on the outside and a tall, tapered back column at the centre, topped with a round timber tray. It all stands on a brass-tone metal plinth. It is named after Zeugma, the ancient city at Nizip in Gaziantep, known for its mosaics. Because the seat is cut into segments, the surface moves with a soft rhythm and the seams draw the shape. The central column acts as the back, so guests sit facing outward in any direction and nobody has to face a wall; the timber tray on top has room for a cup or a glass. The plinth lifts the upholstery off the floor and keeps the piece looking light. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. In hotel lobbies and wide waiting halls it gives the room a centre without cutting off circulation, and groups can sit facing each other. Our fabric library runs up to 100,000 Martindale rubs; for lobbies we recommend the highest grade. Fabric type and colour are chosen at order.
