Ola

In 2018, a successful collaboration began with German furniture designer Wolfgang C.R. Mezger. The simplicity of the Ola chair proved that a new and more beautiful form could be achieved, even in a crowded seating market. To underline the point, the collaboration with the designer has continued, resulting in the equally attractive Ola Tub in 2022.

The sublime contours that defined Ola’s beauty continue in Ola Tub, its sides tapering up towards a gullwing detail that rolls to create a supportive armrest for the sitter while maintaining the svelte aesthetic Ola is known for. This has been achieved through our innovative application of injection moulding processes. Each shell is comprised of injection moulded polypropylene mixed with fiberglass to form a single material. The glass fibres create a lattice-like structure which is fixed within the polypropylene to give the shell its strength and durability. As a result, we’ve been able to create a much thinner shell, reducing our material requirements while maximizing the ergonomic comfort and visual appeal of Ola Tub.

With our internal design team pushing one another to produce excellent work, independent collaborators bring something different to the mix and continue to facilitate new and fascinating pieces for the Boss Design portfolio. Going forward, our collaborations will expand beyond furniture to include a range of new elements within the workplace environment.
