Orbit Modular Furniture with Many Design Possibilities
This modular furniture is aptly named "Orbit" as the word refers to space which is the final frontier. In this case it refers to space planning which goes to the core purpose of modular furniture. I really like these pieces as I could envision them in a home or a public seating area. The benches are so simple and yet would make a welcome addition to filling up space in a hallway in a house or in a corner of a living room. With Orbit, the more space that you have to work with, the more design possibilities arise. More information: here.
