Australian furniture label Derlot releases its new Pipeline modular seating system that is designed by its own founder Alexander Lotersztain. It is defined by a distinctive cylindrical backrest which allows it to be configured in multiple ways that formulate unique seating solutions. It also has modules with grooves at the back or along the middle of the seats where there are curved or straight back cushions.
Lotersztain explains that "This flexible modularity paired with a minimalist form creates an incredibly simple, yet iconic design." The Pipeline is perfect for home and public spaces, offering a place of comfort. It can also be paired with the steel side tables by the brand as a free-standing design or between the units.
