Sitscape - Hackenbroich Architekten




The sitscape is a system that provides a customized seating landscape. The configuration of the sitscape is based on preferred positions of use and the dimensions of the users. As a “customized mass product” it accommodates different demands and forms within the same structural principle. The first version of this furniture piece was realized in a length of six metres for a client in Berlin. 
The form extends the usual use of a couch. The design is based on specific seating positions and smooth transformations between them. The preferred relaxing positions of the client are used to generate a “perfect fit” and provide familiar possibilities for relaxing. The transitional areas between these positions are undetermined in their use. They offer new and unexpected possibilities, which will be discovered and appropriated by the users.
The sitscape is one metre wide and “infinitely” long. This organizational system has a simple construction principle of vertical sections connected by metal elements which allow the configuration of different forms within this system. The sitscape will be sold by the “metre” and the costumers have the choice of various positions which can be combined in any sequence.
