Made possible by exploring innovative developments in moulded plywood techniques, the Soft Edge 72 Low Stool blends strong curves with extreme lightness to create a three-dimensionality that is not normally possible with 2D plywood. All the edges of the ultra-thin, soft-formed seats are bent away from the body, designed to optimise human-centric comfort for constant shifting and movement. Its strength, along with its functionality, ensures years of everyday use in a wide range of settings, from pairing with a desk to additional seating in a living or dining space. Part of the HAY Soft Edge collection.
Iskos–Berlin Design is a partnership of Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos. The company works within the fields of industrial, furniture and graphic design. Boris and Aleksej have been working together for several years before establishing their company Iskos–Berlin in 2010.
In 1987, Boris co-founded Komplot Design, where Aleksej was employed as an assistant for more than 11 years. This long and fruitful cooperation has allowed them to develop a shared philosophy of design. In their own words: “We see design as an art of storytelling. This story is normally quite complex, consisting of semantics, morphology, materiality, technology of objects and many other elements. But the clearer your story is, the more likely people are to understand it. The more surprising you make your story, the more likely they are to remember it. And finally the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to love it!”
