Designed to enhance human interaction and expand outdoor possibilities, Omni is a versatile and flexible piece that combines seating and tabletop functionality, addressing limitations in traditional outdoor arrangements. Crafted by Xinyi Huang and Chenyang Yu, this innovative outdoor furniture piece offers a unique rotational feature, seamlessly transforming from a chair to a tabletop with a simple 90-degree rotation, promoting human interactions and sparking user creativity.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Omni, a multifunctional chair, draws inspiration from the growing appreciation for outdoor experiences in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic times. Its curvy silhouettes and organic shapes, along with its lightweight construction, offer optimal comfort in various seating positions and a suitable height for table use when rotated. The design, realized through rotomolding and recyclable thermoplastics, provides enhanced flexibility and comfort for outdoor experiences.
When in chair position, Omni measures 20.5 inches wide, 28.5 inches deep, and 27.5 inches high, offering a range of sitting options for users. Its lightweight construction facilitates easy movement, rotation, and arrangement, enabling users to create diverse furniture sets tailored to different activities.
Designed by Xinyi Huang and Chenyang Yu from February to May 2021 in Philadelphia, USA, Omni's development involved in-depth research into the typical forms and arrangements of public seating, ergonomic considerations, and feasibility studies using scaled physical models to validate and enhance the design concept.
