"Meet Form&Foam, a conceptual modular seating system that's basically the opposite of everything we've come to expect from public furniture. Instead of being rigid, heavy, and impossible to move without a forklift, these proposed chairs would be soft, lightweight, and surprisingly adaptable. The secret ingredient? EPP material, which stands for expanded polypropylene if you want to get technical about it."
"What makes EPP so special is its trifecta of practical benefits. It's shock-resistant (meaning it can take a beating and bounce right back), it's genuinely soft to sit on, and it weighs next to nothing. That last part is crucial because it would transform these chairs from static objects into something more like building blocks for public spaces. Anyone could pick one up and rearrange the seating configuration on the fly."
Form&Foam is a modular seating system made from expanded polypropylene (EPP) that prioritizes softness, lightness, and adaptability. EPP provides shock resistance, soft comfort, and very low weight, enabling pieces to be lifted and rearranged by users rather than heavy equipment. Multiple variations include a relaxed 'Lean' model with ergonomic curves and a textured, pixelated surface in vibrant colors. The material and geometry allow seating to function like building blocks for public spaces, supporting different postures and social dynamics. The concept emphasizes reconfigurable layouts for events and community gatherings, transforming static benches into flexible seating solutions.
