Accelerate Sofa Fills Need for Speed
These Accelerate sofa and chair design concepts by Danish designer Phillip Grass are incredibly sleek and futuristic.
Seemingly inspired by aeronautics, the ‘fly’ design features jet engine-shaped armrests.
“My design is futuristic with a sense of acceleration and speed; organic with seamless flowing forms,” says Grass. “Simple, well-balanced and peaceful, while simultaneously creating a sense of awe.”
As for his everyday source of inspiration, Grass explains, “I find inspiration in vehicles such as cars, aeroplanes and spaceships; in the structure of bones and in the fluid forms of fish.”
Right now, Accelerate is a digital prototype. Grass has a planned execution of a polyester resin structure upholstered with polyurethane foam and white leather for these designs.
