Austrian designer Rainer Mutsch has recently completed a range of outdoor furniture called Dune. The entire design and conception behind Dune is both creative and high-tech. Each modular unit is produced using 100% recycled Eternit cellulose fiber-cement panels. Moreover, Mutsch – just like any other furniture designer – had to take into consideration the various ergonomics, durability, modularity, and sustainability of the project.
The fibercement material is 3D molded, highly breathable, and inflammable. As complex as all of that sounds, the finished product is a streamline, minimalist work of art. There are a total of six different seating elements that an individual can choose from, and since the pieces are modular, the system can be indefinitely expanded.

I like everything about these-the organic form, 100% recycled content, even the background setting. They remind me a bit of the Willy Guhls Loop Chair but these work so much better as a group.

agree with you. it looks very nice with multiple modules.
but i think function follows form, as it wont be very comfy when enjoyed “pure” and even kind of cold-surfaced. its more of an eye-candy.
AND its nothing new as willi guhl constructed similar things in 1954 (!!!) ..
