Syncline
My father is a Geologist and I grew up amongst topographic maps that depicted the subject of his
work. I translated topographic principles to better explore the human body and notions of posture
and comfort. In structural geology, a syncline is typically a downward fold recognized as a
sequence of rock layers.
Syncline is a multi-person and multi-posture lounge chair with justification of ergonomic studies and
insights that indicated peoples need to accommodate multiple postures.
Our bodies have no straight lines, so why should our furniture?
