Carousel six places by Elsie Crawford

The carousel sofa designed by artist-industrial designer Elsie Crawford for Sintoform as part of an "architectural fibreglass" collection in 1969 remains an iconic piece today with its unique spatial design. The carousel planter seat rotates the seats around a hollow fibreglass core that allows for surface planting. Its innovative seating concept features a circular shape with six places, creating the ideal environment for conversations and social interactions, while the integrated flower pot adds a touch of greenery. Resembling a spacecraft, this retro seating object serves well in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Originally designed for large-scale public and private applications such as shopping centres, hotel lobbies, and residences, Crawford's imaginative use of volume and materials to provide a modern retro aesthetic alongside functionality has ensured that her work remains sought after today. This gigantic decorative seat from the space age is still a conversation starter for everyone in the room!
