cologne

german designer marc ulm worked 7 years in a bookstore before enjoying the pleasure of becoming really creative. he went to the hfg offenbach where he just completed his pre-degree with ‘trilas’, a dynamic seating for the everyday life.

marc ivited me to sit on one of the chairs. he told me to sit on it as I would sit on a horse. ‘trials’ forces you to sit straight without losing a ‘playfully active feeling’. the ‘elastomer-kugel’ in the centre is normally used for sealing in non-return valves from hydraulic fluid, water and air. In this case it allows more flexibility for marc’s design.

the ‘trilas’ is part of the 3d contest exhibition, the young designers competition of the imm furniture fair in cologne. the show continues today.
