inSAIL
[Summary of award-winning products]
inSAIL is a work sofa with mobility that allows you to flexibly switch between "focus work" and "communication work" activities depending on the work situation.
The back panel surrounding the sofa not only blocks the line of sight and creates the perfect environment for focus work, but the panel frame also serves as a handle, allowing workers to easily transition to communication work. Having a handle reduces the chances of your hands touching the upholstery, making it less likely to get dirty and allowing you to use it for a long time, reducing the environmental impact.
