Swoop Box Table
Summary
During his time as a college instructor, industrial designer Brian Kane noticed that students curled up or sprawled out, rather than
sitting in a traditional way. This observation
inspired the Swoop family of lounge furniture. The sweeping curves of Swoop’s modular seating components were designed to make the
furniture comfortable for many different sitting positions. Coordinating box tables can be used in-line with modular seating, and work tables fit perfectly over armrests. Coffee tables function as stools with the addition of a cushion top. All components work together in countless ways to create flexible spaces where people can get together casually and comfortably.

Design Story
Brian Kane designed Swoop for the way people sit today—in a word, personally. Because there are no hard edges or 90-degree
angles, the “swooping” form created as the arms curve into the seat accommodates a variety of postures and positions: upright
with a laptop at the ready, or reclined with a cup of coee; legs crossed, feet up, or settled in. With an extensive range of upholstery fabrics, veneers, laminates, and colors, Swoop also suits your personal style—from classic
to expressive. Make a color statement with fully upholstered armchairs, club chairs, and ottomans. Tone things down with the
lightness of the plywood lounge chair. Combine tables and chairs
for con gurations that meet practically any need.
Brian Kane
In 1989, Brian Kane established Kane Design Studio, where he continues to focus on what he loves most of all: seating. “It’s all about comfort and innovation,” he says. His chairs have been exhibited at numerous museums, but he says he is especially proud to have his designs sitting alongside those of Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson in Herman Miller showrooms. “For me, that’s as good as it gets.”
