When we created this round couch or rotunda in 2014 for the lobby of the Hotel Pullman Europe in Basel, we thought that this made-to-measure piece would be too specific to fit elsewhere. A hotel lobby is very unique and the requirements for DOT were particular – it had to invite guests not only to take a seat but also had to provide a center platform for flower decorations. To make this huge furniture portable, we assembled it out of five pieces: four slices of seats and the central mirror-plated platform. We thought of DOT again in 2018, when we were asked to furnish the entrance hall of the residence to the Swiss Ambassador in Athens. There, DOT fitted perfectly with the circular floor mosaic crowned by a chandelier. With its modular and hence flexible structure, it is easy to remove the components if the space is needed for the embassy’s various events. The four slices can then simply be placed in the corners of the hall. We definitely see DOT’s story to be continued in other reception areas, museums, galleries…
