Khodi Feiz for Offecct and Giannini

The 'Moment' lounge chair was launched at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, February 7-11, 2012 by Offecct, Sweden; designed by Khodi Feiz, Amsterdam.
Observing those “moments” which we engage in while seated was the key inspiration for this project. Noticing that we rarely “just sit”, we started to reflect on all the activities we do while sitting: all the moments that we read, we drink a cup of coffee, we work, we engage in conversation… ‘Moment’ was born out of these situations.
We believe that this multi-dimensionality requires new solutions that are more reflective of our activities, just as the old wooden school chair with an integrated tablet in the context of the classroom. We wanted to create a chair, which is a hybrid, an integral piece composed of two intertwined functionalities that are seamlessly merged into one. And in turn, reflects our daily activities in larger settings such as lounges, receptions, collaborative spaces and offices, and even perhaps in your home when you’re reading the morning paper while enjoying your coffee or working on your laptop.
The design is based on a generous flowing cup shape, supporting your body, which gently transforms into a small articulating table opening up for a surface for your coffee and closing in front of you when you want to work. This opening and closing gesture also reinforces the notion of private and public, almost suggesting to others that you are available for conversation or you are busy with work, a social gauge, if you will.
Cold-foam Moulded and upholstered in one integral structure and complimented by an articulating table in powder coated moulded wood composite and available in a variety of feet configurations and finishes, the Moment is a seamless fit into Offecct’s conscientious and progressive range of furniture.

'Steel' by Khodi Feiz for Giannini
Launched at the Macef Milano and Ambiente Frankfurt 2012 by Giannini, Italy; Designed by Khodi Feiz, Amsterdam.
A family of objects developed for the table and the kitchen, reflecting basic needs: oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, parmesan cheese, wine glacette, citrus basket, fruit bowls, spice racks, storage jars, etc... An endless list. The obvious choice for the material was stainless steel. What’s intriguing about stainless steel is the incredibly beautiful reflective surfaces and it's great durable practicality (exactly why it is used so often in restaurant settings). The Italian landscape served as initial inspiration for the design of the project, with its hills and valleys, mountains and volcanoes allowing for scenography that is truly exciting. Our translations, classical in nature, were in production processes that create stretched, pulled, stamped and turned surfaces.
The Steel Collection is the embodiment of products that are practical and highly useful, hopefully lasting for generations; Basic tools to enhance everyday living in their own simple ways.
