Numen / For Use
Numen / For Use is a design collective led by product designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković. Over the past 20 years, Numen/For Use has been active globally in the fields of industrial and spatial design, scenography and conceptual art. They nourish very rational aesthetics that could be categorized as functional minimalism. Their designs for Prostoria include the Polygon and Toggle easy chairs, Oblique, Oblikant Trifidae collections, Bik and Dobra chairs, Revolve, Layout, Absent, Segment, Klaster, Combine and Fade sofas, Avet low table and the outdoor collections Osmo and Jugo.
Behind every product, there’s a story. And the one behind the Polygon chair holds a special place in our hearts and homes. Ever since we first began to engage with Polygon, together with Numen/For Use, we were fascinated with the standard modernist typology of chairs with modest dimensions that meet all functional parameters, without burdening the space with their bulkiness.
