Play Orbiter is designed to bring playful engagement, joy, and discovery into activities of daily living. Its receptive and responsive form invites individuals to decide how they want to relate to it: what type of posture and which of the 4 orientations are ideal for creating their version of the ideal moment.
Philippe Starck discovered Play Orbiter and brought it to XO in France for production. Ultimately, we were unable to achieve the specified soft foam production there. Idée (Japan) has since produced a limited run in fiberglass, which Play Orbit continues to offer.
