Design
Brian Kane designed Swoop for the way people sit today—in a
word, personally. Because there are no hard edges or 90-degree
angles, the “swooping” form created as the arms curve into the
seat accommodates a variety of postures and positions: upright
with a laptop at the ready, or reclined with a cup of coffee; legs
crossed, feet up, or settled in.
With an extensive range of upholstery fabrics, veneers, laminates,
and colours, Swoop also suits your personal style—from classic
to expressive. Make a colour statement with fully upholstered
armchairs, club chairs, and ottomans. Tone things down with the
lightness of the plywood lounge chair. Combine tables and chairs
for configurations that meet practically any need.
About Brian Kane
In 1989, Brian Kane established Kane Design Studio, where he
continues to focus on what he loves most of all: seating. “It’s all
about comfort and innovation,” he says. His chairs have been
exhibited at numerous museums, but he says he is especially
proud to have his designs sitting alongside those of Charles
and Ray Eames and George Nelson in the global Herman Miller
portfolio. “For me, that’s as good as it gets.”
