Adret & Ubac is a design for seating inspired from the mountains. It is essentially a rug on the floor that elevates at the centre to function as a back rest. The form defines dual spaces for both conversation and self retreat. Different tones used on two sides of the ridge signify the adret and ubac of the mountain, the binary nature of the piece, as active catalyst for social interaction as well as for passive repose.
