Tecno: Archipelago

At Orgatec 2012, Italian furniture manufacturer Tecno presented a new seating system for different applications in the domestic, office and lounge environments, designed by Monica Förster.

On the occasion of the 2012 edition of the Orgatec office fair in Cologne, Italian furniture manufacturer Tecno presented Archipelago D502, a new seating system designed by Swedish practice Monica Förster Design Studio.

The Archipelago D502 seating system is comprised of single armchairs, a two-seater sofa, a three seater sofa and round side tables. All these elements can be positioned together to create organic shapes or classic configurations. Archipelago is a modular system, and seeks to serve different applications in the domestic, office and lounge environments.

The pieces feature a tubular steel structure, with a polyurethane foam upholstered in fabric or leather. The tubular steel base has a satin nickel finish, while the side tables are available in several finishes, matt lacquer or veneered.

Tecno specialises in tailor-made designs, among which are the refurbished British Museum by the architect Norman Foster, the building of the Agbar tower in Barcelona, designed by Jean Nouvel, and the European Parliament.
