2 Sit however, work wherever, rearrange whenever Swoop Lounge Furniture Designed by Brian Kane During his time as an instructor at the California College of Art, industrial designer Brian Kane observed how students interacted with furniture in public spaces on campus. He noticed that very few of them sat in what might be considered a traditional way. They perched on arms. They curled up. They sprawled out. This observation inspired a versatile and fluid design response, which became the Swoop family of lounge furniture. The sweeping curves of Swoop s modular seating components were designed to make the furniture comfortable for many different sitting positions. Coordinating box tables can be used in-line with modular seating, and work tables fit perfectly over armrests. Coffee tables function as stools with the addition of a cushion top. All components work together in countless ways to create flexible, reconfigurable spaces where people can get together casually and comfortably.

4 Performance While traditional lounge furniture inhibits movement, Swoop encourages it. Sit how you like, and change positions as you like. And when you need a work surface, pull up a table wherever you need it. Modular seating components can also be ganged together to allow a run of chairs or ottomans to create sofas or benches, which lend a sense of enclosure to help define a space. Swoop seating invites collaboration, providing the necessary comfort and support to keep focus and productivity high. Swoop tables are freestanding, with heights that fit perfectly over an armrest to provide a non-handed work surface. Box tables are available with power outlets for easy connectivity. The monolithic forms of Swoop s fully upholstered modular seating components provide an opportunity to make a strong color statement.

5 The exposed shell of the plywood lounge chair is a subtle reference to the iconic designs of Charles and Ray Eames. Design Brian Kane designed Swoop for the way people sit today in a word, personally. Because there are no hard edges or 90-degree angles, the swooping form created as the arms curve into the seat accommodates a variety of postures and positions: upright with a laptop at the ready, or reclined with a cup of coffee; legs crossed, feet up, or settled in. With an extensive range of upholstery fabrics, veneers, laminates, and colors, Swoop also suits your personal style from classic to expressive. Make a color statement with fully upholstered armchairs, club chairs, and ottomans. Tone things down with the lightness of the plywood lounge chair. Combine tables and chairs for configurations that meet practically any need. About Brian Kane In 1989, Brian Kane established Kane Design Studio, where he continues to focus on what he loves most of all: seating. It s all about comfort and innovation, he says. His chairs have been exhibited at numerous museums, but he says he is especially proud to have his designs sitting alongside those of Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson in Herman Miller showrooms. For me, that s as good as it gets. Brian Kane
