Winner of the Editor’s Choice Award in Seating, Heartbeat by Nienkamper reinvents modular benching with a series of innovative elements—Straight, Concave, and Convex.

The result is a repositionable system of snaking, sinuous forms that “resembles a wave or a pulse, keeps guests from being seated back to back, and makes it effortless to spark interaction,” explains Nienkamper. Like a millennial version of the Victorian tête-à-tête sofa, Heartbeat facilitates conversation in a stylish manner.

Heartbeat also won an Interior Design HiP Award. Get more information at Nienkamper.
