The Design Award comes in the wake of a small design change to the 120 cm. tall lounge chair. In 2010, the designer Erik Magnussen decided to take the Plateau to a whole new level. By changing the base to a four-star base and streamlining the backrest, the chair’s silhouette is emphasized more, creating a lighter and simpler look. The new base is made of highly polished easy-to-clean aluminium and is available with or without an automatic return swivel. And that translates into a lounge chair that is iconic and simple, yet suitable for the modern age.

Designing the PLATEAU lounge chair came with one goal: to create a lounge chair that fits our modern age, where work and play converge together. With it’s right armrest forming a “plateau,” it becomes a table for your laptop or coffee cup and a shell that closes in on you, a new swivel base, and a streamlined iconic image, the Plateau not only achieves that goal, it sets a new standard for what every lounge chair should be. A chair for the modern man.

The Mesa table evolved from an architectural experiment which was similarly to do with creating connections. Elastika was an installation created in the Moore Building in 2005 for the Miami Art Fair. The brief had been a sculptural structure to revivify the 1921 building’s atrium. Zaha’s proposal was an organic set of tentacles which linked spaces and floors across the atrium, defying changing levels and criss-crossing each other in mid-air. The effect was like a huge, sticky chewing gum pulled out of shape across the interior. It is a sci-fi alien piece which transforms the heart of the building, reaching across space. It looks as if the structure was attempting to resolve itself back into a single solid. The Mesa table takes as its starting point a similar situation. Stripping the formal idea back to its constituent parts; ground; structure; surface, the design creates a world in between the two horizontal planes, a world which becomes structure but in which the voids express the form as much as the solids.
