With its surprisingly minimal footprint and generous comfort, the Plan Armchair is ideal for modern spaces that invite a variety of uses, from extensive hospitality and office applications to everyday living. While sturdy and tested for extreme public use, each component of the Plan Armchair is prepared for end-of-use disassembly and ease of possible future reparations - designed to last in a circular economy. Plan Armchair successfully balances industrial elements and soft humanistic curves with its materiality, tactility, and crafted details.

Edward Barber, born in Shrewsbury in 1969, and Jay Osgerby, born in Oxford in 1969, studied architecture and interior design as fellow students at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1996, they founded their own studio for design and architecture under the name Barber & Osgerby. Since that time, their collaborative work has probed the interface between industrial design, furniture design and architecture.
