Hanging Geodesic Seats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Suspended Seats are Perfect for Lounging in the Great Outdoors

— June 11, 2015 — Art & Design
The 'Kodama Zome' suspended seats are a geodesic, hammock-like structure. They resemble an over-sized cage made of polyester webbing and stainless steel. The suspended seats are an ideal accessory for outdoor lounging. They can act as a cozy seat to catch some sun or read a book and are large enough to act as an incredibly comfy outdoor bed.

Each Kodama Zome has a custom mattress and cushions available in a variety of colors and patterns. It also has a covering system made of mesh that is perfect for star-gazing without the interference of bugs. The Kodama Zome is suspended from a pole located at the top center of each seat. Three legs extend to surround the seat like a spider to allow the piece of furniture to hang in any location.

Designer Richie Duncan created the seats using 3D engineering software.
