Designed as a modular seating, brad ascalon’s ASCENT collection for mitab is ideal for public spaces like airports and lobbies which are often intimidating, cold. As ascalon explains it, ‘the idea for this project was to rethink the notion of lobby and airport seating by establishing a completely new visual language for this category of contract furniture. airport seating in particular continues to feel cold, institutional, and ASCENT is intended to change this’. Hence, wanting to integrate a sense of versatility and flexibility, the modular furniture includes a USB port for charging and can be easily used as a table for drinks, eating, reading, or simply storing one’s personal items. Even more, given how each seat is detachable, users can customize the layout via different configurations and colors.
