Product Overview

Le Mur is a modular seating system designed by Murman Architects (Wivian Eidsaunet and Marie Oscarsson) between 2009 and 2012. It offers a versatile seating landscape that can be customized to fit various spatial needs, functioning as a room divider with natural sound absorption and visual screening due to its high padded backrest.

The system supports multiple configurations including round, curved, or straight arrangements, creating a "room within a room" effect. The design features irregularly placed buttons on the backrest that are functional as well as decorative, serving as clothes hangers or supports for accessories like magazine holders.

Functional and Aesthetic Features

The high padded backrest provides both acoustic dampening and privacy, making Le Mur suitable for open-plan environments. The through-buttons on the backrest serve dual purposes: decorative elements and practical hooks for hanging clothes or accessories such as magazine holders.

The modular nature allows for tailored configurations, including curved or straight layouts, adapting to different spatial and functional requirements.
