Design
The German word for design is entwerfen, which roughly
translates as “to throw.” According to the designers, that’s
“throw something a little bit ahead of the curve, or ahead
of what you know, to help pull you in the right direction.”
With Cosm, “throwing” led Studio 7.5 to their most
sophisticated design yet.
About Studio 7.5
When Burkhard Schmitz and Carola Zwick started their design
studio as a team of six in 1992, they were looking for the
freedom to work on projects that interested them. And for the
freedom from bosses and titles. “Everybody does everything,”
says Schmitz, speaking for the group that now includes
Carola’s brother, Roland Zwick. “That’s how we cultivate
ideas and maintain our openness and curiosity.”
They find designing office chairs to be most rewarding and have
worked with Herman Miller on the Setu Chair, the award-winning
Mirra chair, Mirra 2, and Cosm. “We define not only how the
chair looks but how it performs,” Carola says. As to how Setu,
Mirra, and Cosm all perform for you, they provide comfort no
matter how or where you sit.
Cosm’s innovative new Leaf Arms – the first of their kind – feature a soft but firm cradle design that provides a large,
cozy resting place for your elbows. The arm rests make holding a phone or book natural and comfortable, and the
angle of the arms mean they don’t get in the way of a work surface when it’s time to get back online.
