award-winning design studio nendo releases its latest furniture series ‘bouncy furniture’, showcased at the ‘home living boundless design’ exhibition for chinese furnishing company, KUKA. in true nendo manner, the collection focuses on the intrinsic value of softness, however, decided to take a different approach in expressing comfortable furniture. 

the collection features a range of upholstered sofas and lounge chairs

rather than using standard padding materials such as ethane foam, cotton, plumage or springs, nendo uses 1.5 mm thick polycarbonate sheets, whose softness can be changed through lamination and how it is bent. depending on the amount of space between laminated layers softness can be altered; with decreased curvature comes increased stiffness.
