Dezeen Showroom: furniture manufacturer EFG and industrial design studio Form Us With Love have collaborated on a mobile seating collection called Hybe, which is defined by its versatility, according to the brand.
Form Us With Love designed the collection for EFG to be suitable for both professional and educational settings.
The Hybe furniture ranges from single to double-seated chairs and enclosed booths, which are designed on wheels to create mobile and flexible seating.
The single-seat Hybe chair comes with or without wooden armrests, while partition screens can be attached to single or double-seated chairs to create sound-blocking booths that offer a secluded working space.
Hybe chairs come on either castors or swivel bases.
"The [furniture] family's primary characteristic is versatility, as it provides seating areas and meeting spaces that meet your needs and assignments at any given moment," said EFG.
Wooden accents and soft textile upholstery in a range of colours contrast with Hybe's tubular steel chair legs, which the brand called "a classic Scandinavian design with a soft, playful twist".
Hybe's frame, seat cover, armrests and screen cover are all interchangeable, which means that individual components can be replaced and recycled over time, according to EFG.
The wood used to create the seating is also FSC® certified (FSC-C009111), while the chairs' upholstery is available in eco-labelled fabrics.
"In recent years, we’ve seen significant changes in working environments, and tomorrow's workplace will be even more versatile," said Form Us With Love co-founder John Löfgren.
"A single piece of furniture will have to do more than one thing, and Hybe is the perfect hybrid for relaxation and work. You can work in it, hold a meeting or take a phone call."
