Rise is a 3D-printed lounge chair that redefines comfort through a unified approach to material, form, and production.
The ergonomic profiling cradles the user within a sculptural volume, supported by a translucent structural base that diffuses light to create a warm, glass-like presence. This evolving interaction with light gives the chair an elevated, lightweight appearance.
At its core, a proprietary 3D-printed foam delivers the softness of traditional cushioning through precisely controlled geometry, eliminating the need for layered construction. The additive manufacturing process enables zero-waste production and supports local, on-demand fabrication significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with storage, shipping, and overproduction.
Engineered for longevity, the material is durable, water-resistant, and hygienic, allowing seamless transition between interior and exterior environments while extending product lifespan.
Rise proposes a new model for furniture, where material intelligence, digital manufacturing, and spatial experience converge to support circular design principles and define a more adaptive future.
