Drift is a series of 8 fibreglass pebbles set in an organic configuration, forming clusters of relaxation and informal meeting spaces. Embracing the inherent lines of the building, the pebbles appear as brought in by a current, a drift.

The installation welcomes newcomers and employees to come in and relax, meet, or simply wait. It is designed to accommodate a solo relaxing time just as well as a 6 people meeting. The essential features of pebbles shapes invite intuitive behaviour from its users. It encourages them to not only use them as classic seats or tables, but rather as their own piece of landscape, where they can lie, sit crossed legged, or look at the sky.
