Exemplary Collaboration with Carl Magnusson Honored for Thoughtful Craftsmanship
Allseating, a leader in the design and development of workplace solutions, is excited to announce that its Lyss seating collection, designed by Carl Gustav Magnusson, has been honored with a Good Design Award. The 67th edition of the annual awards program selected winning designs from over 48 nations to be part of the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design’s Permanent Design Collection, including Lyss for its sleek construction.
“We are so proud that Lyss was selected for this prestigious honor and are incredibly humbled by the enthusiasm we have received for the collection this year,” says Chris Binnendyk, President of Allseating. This award stands as a testament to our dedication in creating partnerships across the industry with thoughtful designers and craftsmen.”
Awarded for its standout design and timeless silhouette, the collection of seating, derived from the Swedish word, ‘lyssna,’ meaning ‘to listen,’ was designed to facilitate intimate dialogues and meaningful connections between its users. Lyss makes for the perfect seating selection in boardrooms, lobbies, lounges, libraries, and ideation spaces. The versatility of Lyss can be largely credited to the chairs’ sophisticated yet contemporary aesthetic made possible by a flexible poly shell carved with subtle undulations at its summit for an eye-catching detail and added support. A delicately curved cutout in the seat’s back, complemented by an A-line base, exudes modern appeal, while tactile upholstery offerings and a real oak wood base enhance the upscale styling of the chair. Juxtaposing uncommonly matched materials – a real oak wood base with an outer poly shell backing – Lyss can be celebrated for its thoughtful design and ingenuity.
The Good Design Award program was founded and trademarked in 1950, established by design industry leaders, architects, Eeero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufman, Jr. Entries celebrated by the program look to the latest in design and innovation across a diverse field of product and graphic design categories, including sustainability, creativity, branding, design and innovation, ecologically responsible design, humans factors, materials technology, graphic arts, packaging, and universal design. In this year, over 900 new products and graphic designs were selected from over 48 countries and will be branded with the distinctive black dot shaped logo for which the program is known.
