Lisboa Lounge Chair by Keiji Takeuchi Uses a Swappable Seat System
The LISBOA Lounge Chair by Keiji Takeuchi for MOR Design is a low-profile seating design built around a stainless steel frame and a suspended sling seat that can be removed and replaced. The structure remains constant, while the seat layer changes between leather and weather-resistant textile, allowing the chair to shift between indoor and outdoor use without altering its core form. The frame is available in brushed or polished stainless steel, maintaining a consistent visual identity across different environments.
The detachable seat connects cleanly to the frame, enabling quick swaps based on setting or condition rather than requiring a new piece of furniture. The leather version is suited for interior spaces, while the textile option is designed for exterior use, including terraces and poolside settings. This system separates structure from surface.

Material Modularity-as-a-service — Providing textile and leather modules as distinct, replaceable elements supports ongoing refresh cycles and lifecycle management.
Industry Implications
-
Hospitality Design — Hotels and resorts can present a consistent brand aesthetic while adapting seating to varying microclimates and event requirements.
