Vondom Lava Collection

Far more than simple seating, the Vondom Lava collection stands as a functional work of art at the heart of your layout. This bold design breaks with the traditional codes of furniture to offer a new visual and sensory experience. Conceived as an organic sculpture of generous proportions, it recalls the softness of a cloud or a flow of volcanic lava frozen in time, inviting immediate relaxation and contemplation in the most forward-looking spaces.

Lava: organic design by Karim Rashid

Behind this singular form lies the creative talent of Karim Rashid, a prolific and visionary industrial designer known worldwide for his "sensual minimalism". With this sculptural bench, he pushes the limits of material and technique. The undulating, "blobular" silhouette of the seat is a real manufacturing challenge, made possible only by complete mastery of polyethylene rotomoulding. This complex industrial process produces a one-piece item with no visible joints, offering a smooth surface and outstanding resistance to weather and UV rays. The absence of sharp edges gives the object a tactile softness that contrasts with its monumental presence.

The atmosphere created by the Lava bench

Bringing this piece into an architectural project radically changes how the space is perceived. The Lava bench does more than furnish; it structures the place and creates a natural, friendly meeting point. Its fluid design encourages social interaction while allowing a relaxed, ergonomic resting position. To bring out this modern sculpture after dark, adding an RGB LED lighting system is strongly recommended. This option turns the seat into a striking light source, able to vary the mood and captivate any onlooker with its hypnotic, colourful glow.

To extend this curvaceous look by Karim Rashid, you can harmonise the space with the soft forms of the Pal collection or the fluid waves of the Surf sun lounger. If, on the contrary, you prefer an architectural break by setting the organic against the geometric, try pairing it with the angular facets of the Vertex and Voxel ranges.
