The individual pieces work well on their own but can also be combined in groups to create a more dynamic overall impression. The style is uncluttered and uncomplicated. Unnecessary details have been excluded to leave a design that evokes a sense of calm in whatever setting it dignifies.

Plateau has a terrace-like form. The asymmetric structure in each individual item of furniture creates a strikingly graphic expression. A sensation of almost hovering in the air. Inviting and, for all its simplicity, spectacular,’ say Böttcher-Kayser.

The upholstered elements are held in place by a metal frame, creating an eye-catching combination of varying levels. Plateau is also available without armrests. These can be replaced by a small table that provides a handy surface on which to stand a coffee cup, for example, or perhaps a small computer. Plateau can be used in a variety of settings, such as waiting rooms and receptions, as a seat for several people in an exhibition hall, or at home in the lounge.
