"Scoop is the logic output of a clear idea: The character of the series lies in the straight forward appearance — a kind of ideogram of how it works. A design identity based on high quality manufacturing and the unique feeling in use makes Scoop a classic example of aesthetic sustainability — designed to last for generations", says KiBiSi partner and Head of Design Lars Larsen.
The designers explain how the chair's gyroscope-like suspension system conveys a feeling of being carried — a free suspended feel —, while a Y-shaped beam creates a visual and functional overlap between seat and base. Scoop seeks to merge craft and technology: the innovative technical edge increases comfort, while maintaining a clear Scandinavian appearance.
The Scoop chair features a tailor upholstered cast foam seat and an injection molded aluminium frame. The Scoop family currently comprises a conference chair, a lounge chair, a table and a bar stool — still in the making.
