Danish designer Lise Vester works together with Muuto to create the Dream View Bench with a curved steel base meant for ergonomic stargazing. Vester created the design by mapping her own posture in the beach's sand and then turns the shape into styrofoam. The reflective material also captures the surrounding colors of the space that the chair would be in, making it great for indoor and outdoor environments.
Lise Vester notes in a statement, “The sky remains ever-present – limitless and available to most, as long as we remember to look up. When we do, natural daylight, shifting colors, the moon, passing clouds, and birds suddenly feel within reach. This beauty – and these small moments of appreciation – are often overlooked in the rush of daily life. I wanted to create a design that draws the viewer’s gaze upward, curating moments of focus and daydreaming while gazing."
