Collectible bespoke seating and sculptural furniture by independent studios, curated as gallery-grade works.
At The Orb, we think about seating in the same way we think about sculpture or architecture. It is never just about function. It is about presence, proportion, and how a piece lives within a space over time.
Our Seating collection brings together bespoke seating created by independent designers and studios working at the forefront of contemporary collectible design. Each piece is chosen for its ability to balance comfort with form.
We work closely with designers whose practices span furniture, sculpture, and material exploration. Many of the pieces in this collection are handmade seating, produced in limited quantities or as small studio runs. This allows the designer's process to remain visible in the finish, the joinery, and the way materials come together.
Our selection of bespoke sofas, sculptural daybeds, and modular seating systems is designed to anchor a space. Each sofa is approached as a spatial object. Comfort is essential, but it is never separated from silhouette, proportion, or material expression.
Many of the designers we work with treat the chair as a sculptural problem. The collection includes bespoke chairs, bespoke dining chairs, custom dining room chairs, and handmade dining chairs, often produced in small runs.
Attention is paid to posture, balance, and how the body meets the object. These are designer chairs intended to be experienced slowly, both visually and physically.
Our seating collection extends beyond traditional categories to include bespoke bench seating, sculptural stools, and hybrid seating forms. These pieces are often used to define space rather than simply occupy it.
Many of the seating pieces at The Orb are made through handmade or studio based processes. Materials such as wood, upholstery, metal, stone, and composite finishes are explored with care and restraint.
We look closely at how materials age, wear, and interact with light. This approach reinforces the value of handmade seating within a collectible design context.
