The Pluto bench was awarded with the Best of NeoCon Silver award for Bench Seating at Neocon 2010. Scaled for one, or a cozy seat for two people, the bench is designed to define personal space in public seat environments. The sculptural elliptical form is pleasing to view from any angle and when grouped together, creates intriguing arrangements.
Asked about the inspiration for Pluto, President of Leland International, Tim Korzon, replied:
- Have you ever been in a public area and found an open seat ‘occupied’ by coats, backpacks, or briefcases? Pluto’s pod concept defines personal and overcomes the inevitable sprawl that occurs in public seating applications.
