THE POWER TO TRANSFORM
THE POWER TO TRANSFORM
_CHOOL IS POWERED BY GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
Every time we stand up energy is used to fight gravity. This energy is carried in the body until we sit down. Our Responsive Technology harnesses this potential energy when sat on.

Gravitational Energy Recovery System
1
Every time you stand energy (cheeky biscuit anyone?) is used to power your muscles to lift your body against gravity
2
You then carry that potential energy
with you as you walk around
with you as you walk around
3
Traditionally, this energy is released and dispersed into the seat the next time you sit down
4
Chool’s mechanism uses this free, clean energy and does something fun and useful with it!

key features : design
_DESIGNED AS PART OF A SYSTEM
Cuba chool works perfectly together with a table or perfectly on it’s own in equal measure.
_ON IT’S OWN
The Cuba Chool’s low visual impact and omnidirectional design makes it a versatile seating option to sit on on it’s own in open space.
_DOCKING
The hoverbase’s square design is part of the clever docking system that allows it to self organise at Dox tables. Allowing it to always line up neatly with a simple push.
_sustainable design
Cuba has been designed with longevity in mind. Not only using sustainable quality materials but by using manufacturing processes that enable easy disassembly. By mechanically fixing as many components as possible, each product is easier to repair, to replace parts, and eventually easier to be disassembled and broken down for re-cycling or repurposing. By designing with this purpose in mind, we believe Cuba has a more sustainable life and afterlife cycle.
_product variants
The geometric design of Cuba was crucial to the flexibility and ability to easily add more product variants in larger, wider, taller sizes, as well as static seating to the Cuba system.
