These organic seating sculptures are designed by Eva Sobesky from EIS Studio where landscaping is an integral part of the design process. I love how these giant pebbles play with the scale of a space yet perfectly fit into any outdoor or indoor environment.
Eva founded her company in 2002 after 12 years of working at Frank Gehry & Associates. Her pebbles seem to draw inspiration from his sculptural take on architecture and her love for nature. More specifically these pebbles are inspired by washed pebbles in a riverbed. They are sculptural yet practical and most importantly green thanks to their production process. The architect Michele Kaufmann describes how the waste of plywood is reduced by the fact that the pebble comes in 3 different sizes (S,M,L) and each smaller size is made from the leftover uncut inner plywood of the bigger size. This maximizes the use of plywood and reduces its waste. The result is smart, green design and incredibly cool.
