Collide, Coalesce, Compress

"Designed to sit four with a maximum capacity of 8. Capable of folding at four quarters allowing for efficient transport and quick deployment at any location. Weather-resistant & scratch resistant: the material is durable and stains will easily rub off with standard wet wipes. A simple diagram, the torus allows its users to be comfortably seated together, each with full visual range of the next allowing for a communal sphere of rest and relaxation. Designed to cup the body in an ergonomic fashion - sinking in while batteries recharge - not unlike clothes stretching to the proportions of their wearer. The back has a range of recline available to it facilitating various postures and pressures. You don’t buy it: you use it, abuse, warm it, and leave it for the next. We share it, it belongs right here and perhaps over there once it's repackaged."
