The body is made up of a sheet of bent oak plywood paired with a subtle steel structure. ![]() With Manta you can create a personal oasis of relaxation almost anywhere - it provides a space for focus or relaxation. Oak plywood suits its aesthetic perfectly, as well as helping soften the metal structure, creating pleasant seating for any setting. “From the first sketch I wanted to design a product which works from all angles, and which will flexibly react to the demands of modern life,” explains Koldová, who adds, “The range combines materials to test what’s possible, which led me to the idea of using bent plywood for Manta. The new Manta’s uniqueness extends to its materials too. The transition from one horizontal level to another creates multifuntional spaces which work in tandem to form a complex minimalist object fulfilling the roles of a table, bench or work desk. Its swooping curves echo the movement of imaginary waves, symbolizing a smooth workflow, while the form also provides ample comfort for reading a book or enjoying a coffee. Manta attracts attention both as a beautiful standalone piece and as a fresh solution for work and relaxation. Manta was created as an unconventional seating element for public spaces, but its flowing curves and aesthetic form, by designer Lucie Koldová, have let it spread its wings much further beyond that.The elegance of a manta ray can now be felt in a new, interior version made of bent oak plywood. Bringing these two worlds together creates multifunctional products where only the weather dictates the material used. Just as design in public spaces is inspired by our living rooms, our living rooms are looking to parks and their designer benches for inspiration. ![]()
