Molecule Unveiled

Toronto – September 22, 2009 – Public seating specialists, Arconas unveil Molecule – Infinite Furniture System to the contract seating industry at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada. Molecule uses two basic elements to form an endless array of configurations. Created for Arconas by award-winning designer Davide Tonizzo, Molecule’s unique assembly, connects individual structures to one another using a “soft-linking” system, according to the designer; replacing the need for a hard connection. The simple and rapid assembly of Molecule adds an original twist to conventional seating layouts.

Molecule consists of two components: a cylindrical upholstered seat and a curved backrest finished in wood veneer with upholstered top pad. The two components of Molecule combine into an endless array of configurations and are designed to simply reconfigure on the fly to respond to changing needs. Optional solid surface table top (shown above) and plywood work surface are available to accommodate work applications.

“My objective in designing Molecule was to create “infinite furniture”. By “soft-linking” each element by shape as opposed to a mechanical connection, the system provides groupings of seating that can be
easily arranged and rearranged to support different uses or simply to change the look of a space,” says Molecule’s designer, Davide Tonizzo. “The name Molecule highlights the theme of a simple set of elements that can produce a vast range of configurations.”

Molecule is ideal for public spaces such as hotel lobbies, libraries, school work/study areas, airport lounges, bars/lounges and retail stores. As well, it can be used for office training, breakout sessions and casual work areas.

Arconas provides public seating solutions for use in high-use waiting areas in justice, healthcare, government, education, commercial, transportation and airport terminals.
