The AS Series - chairs and tables that adapt to every need

FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN, READY FOR ANYTHING

Located in Lyon’s vibrant Confluence district, Les Coulisses is a creative venue designed for workshops, seminars, and collaborative events. Its flexible spaces required furniture that could easily adapt to a variety of setups - without compromising on design or functionality.

The challenge was clear: furnish the space with products that could seamlessly shift between multiple configurations, from small group discussions to large collaborative sessions, while ensuring comfort and aesthetic appeal.

The solution? HOWE’s AS Series. Recognized with a Special Mention Award in the international Focus Open design competition, the AS Series stands as a symbol of innovation and design excellence. With its modular design and endless configuration possibilities, the AS Series allowed Les Coulisses to transform its spaces effortlessly. Designed by contemporary German designer Andreas Störiko, the AS100 chairs and AS400 tables are lightweight, easy to move, and just as simple to store - making reconfigurations quick and intuitive. Whether hosting a brainstorming session or a formal presentation, the furniture adapts smoothly to changing needs.

It was this unique combination of modularity and design that made HOWE stand out. The AS Series offers intuitive functionality, space-saving stackability, and limitless reconfiguration options, perfectly matching the dynamic spirit of Les Coulisses.

Today, Les Coulisses enjoys a setup that is both practical and design-forward. High-quality finishes and a timeless aesthetic ensure the furniture not only performs flawlessly but also enhances the overall atmosphere. For everyday users, this means a functional, flexible, and calming work environment.
