At NeoCon 2010 in Chicago designer Scott Wilson showed us MINIMAL's new lounge-inspired conference furniture for Coalesse, the SW_1 Collection. Video after the jump.
Part 1
In this video, Scott Wilson explains how MINIMAL "took a lot of mass out" of the typical conference room chair by using three dimensional knits (similar to the ones used for running shirt designs for Nike) for the chair back.
Upholstery was limited to specific touch points on the chair leaving room for light to pass through and reducing both material and cost.
Part 2
"At the center of the collection is the conference lounge" with a generous chair that accommodates shifting body postures (for long meetings) and a table with a pullout tablet for laptops.
A clever portable "Power Pod" puts a power strip on top of the table and, when not in use, is covered with an organizer.

I love all of your concept but I love even more the pictures in this website : it´s an excellent work. Congratulations again !
what's new where? its just a hacked bouroullec slow chair on an eames management base, with some padding. the pullout things are stupid and render the rest of the table unusable. not at all efficient to make (so unnecessarily expensive) and just plain ugly. why does the worlds largest furniture company get behind this crap? probably because its all about pleasing the wrong exec's, and management are all a bunch of mba/id-grad school know-nothings!!
