Exploring the parallels between ecological systems and interior spaces.

From the flow of movement to the ability to adapt to new components or organisms, Niche’s mission is to explore the parallels between ecological systems and interior spaces. This furniture set is inspired by the morphological forms of the natural world and brings a glimpse of nature into the office space.

Through form exploration and user testing, Niche has created a modular furniture set called Ripple and Pebble. These two concepts work together to create a flex space that supports multiple levels of intimacy for personal quiet activities and public gathering events within 565 Great Northern Way.
