new public space furniture designed by frank tjepkema and manufactured by hypsos
frank tjepkema has just presented a new public furniture project for the dutch railways. the installation is located in the central hallway of amsterdam’s amstel station. key requirements of the furniture designed for the space was that they had to have a balance of privacy and openness. the arrangement of the pieces had to initiate social interaction, but at the same time, provide opportunities for more private moments. the furniture is made from veneer and leather and is manufactured by hypsos.
