Daybed
by
Pablo Octavio
The Lapis Collection is a series of intriguing and versatile seating objects, made to challenge people's perception: what initially appears to be hard and rough reveals its true nature when touching it for the first time.
The new Daybed is an evolution of the original Lapis – Lounge Chair, the Daybed expands the collection’s sculptural language, introducing a refined technical and architectural base that elevates the piece both physically and conceptually.
The production of each Object begins with a large block of soft foam. By carefully ripping it apart the individual components are shaped. The interaction between chance and intention that lies in the process of ripping the foam, creates the beautiful stone like texture that gives each object its individual character.
To ensure durability while maintaining the material’s softness, the raw foam is coated with a highly flexible paint that is UV-proof and water-repellent. This finish protects the surface from environmental exposure without compromising the tactile quality that defines the collection. The result is a set of objects that invite touch, challenge expectations, and celebrate the beauty found in the contrast between rough appearance and soft material.

About
''Pablo Octavio“, founded in 2023 in Cologne by Pablo Octavio Schneider Motjér, works at the intersection of design and sculpture.
Furniture and objects become spatial protagonists with biomorphic forms, tactile surfaces, and distinct narratives. Inspired by nature and organic processes, the studio embraces material unpredictability and unconventional fabrication as generative tools.
Handcrafted as unique pieces or limited editions, the works challenge reproducibility while celebrating materiality, craftsmanship, and expressive form.
