Who could ever imagine a Cross as a functional and practical element? Is it a piece of furniture to lie and relax? This may sound kind of contradictory but it seems that two Designstudents of HDK GÃ¶teborg’s School of Design and Arts in Sweden, Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischoff managed to go beyond the religious limits and create a lounge out of this Christian symbol. “Humans since 1982“, the nickname of their collaboration, launched the “Surveillance Light”* and they striked again with the “Celebrating the cross” project, a new practical function of the â€œcrossâ€ symbol. This furniture is quite a challenging concept and Supertacular is giving you the opportunity to enjoy this new polarising product through Christoffer T. Duffâ€™s photos.

Chaise longue. Expanded metal and massive wood. Partly woven with black yarn. Dimension: 220 cm x 130 cm x 80 cm.

About Humans since 1982

Per & Bastian are humans. Since 1982. Per grew up in Stockholm and Bastian grew up in the countryside, Kirchberg/Iller (Germany). They both graduated in summer 2009 from HDK, the school for design and crafts in Gothenburg. During a study trip to New York in winter 2008 they decided to cooperate.
