Anyone who does business must communicate, and where communication takes place, tolerance grows.
The design intention of the new furniture in Europark in Maribor was to create sanctuaries of calm within the hustle and bustle of the shopping mall. The elements are intended to make spending time in the mall a pleasant and inspiring experience. The result is artistic design objects of the highest quality craftsmanship. In the constant flow of customers, they act as bow waves of communication. They serve as a design eye-catcher in the central lounge area of the shopping mall.
The free-form seating transforms toward the center, becoming functional elements such as planters, backrests, or children’s play pools. The design principle of the modular furniture elements is based on a consistent docking surface, allowing the elements to be connected in a variety of ways without disrupting the dynamic form.
