Backhouse worked with Parlante to provide new furnishings for the Wellington and Auckland Tourism New Zealand offices.
Chair, Sofa and Ottoman are an innovative design made up of layers of high quality flame retardant foam with no internal frame. Each layer has a different density to give comfort and stability. The base and back are stabilised with plywood which allows the back rest to flex while seated; this combined with the seat profile provides comfort with a sculptural aesthetic. The Chair with arms is constructed with a sturdy pine frame and flame retardant foams.
