RELAX Island | Nina Mair

RELAX Island is a pleasant retreat in the midst of a busy office designed for the German acoustic expert YDOL. This chair provides security and relaxation during a pause, or a little privacy for a short face-to-face chat. Its form, which is based on the traditional beach chair to be found across the beaches of Frisia and the Baltic, offers some privacy from eyes and ears.
RELAX Island comes in two variants: as a closed beach chair and as an open high back chair.
The special construction of the integrated YDOL acoustic elements makes the chair acoustically
effective with an absorption area equivalent to 5 m² (RELAX Island Highback) and 7 m² (RELAX Island Beach Chair) across the entire spectrum of frequencies of the human voice. The surrounding arm and back rests serve as a place to put office equipment such as tablets and smartphones. 36 colours of fabric for the merino wool surface, as well as different legs of wood or metal, provide almost limitless scope for tailoring the design.
