The conceptual 'WITS' furniture collection is a minimalist lineup of products conceptually designed by Martin Poon and the One Object design studio that incorporate technological features to enhance the user's daily lifestyle.
The collection includes such products as the ROLL fabric-covered stool and the FLOAT cabinet, which are outfitted with UVC light and LED lights, respectively. This will help to offer illumination in low-lit environments and keep essential items free from germs between uses.
The conceptual 'WITS' furniture collection also includes the LAYER sofa table that incorporates a wireless charging area to keep devices powered up when watching TV or getting work done from the sofa. The various products speak to the changing consumer lifestyle that prioritizes frequent cleaning and an efficient at-home lifestyle.
