Seating Compostition
In the 5X5® project Unic Design explored new forms and possibilities for the use of tube profiles. The result is a daring design for outdoor use, in which bended steel tubes are integrated in an ingenious structure, offering a variety of seating capacity. Throughout the open structure nature and design are quite literally combined.
