Category: Seating – Ergonomic Desk/Task
Award: Silver
Manufacturer: via seating
Product: Onda
The perfect balance between form and function. When one favors ergonomic function and adjustability the design of the chair tends to take a back seat. The converse is also true when aesthetic considerations take the fore front, then the ergonomic function and adjustability become less important. Onda supports both ergonomic and design philosophies and holds both in perfect harmony without any compromise.

The station has an unexpected materiality and even more unconventionality to it, yet beautiful on the way it divides and separates people for work.
