Home Away from Home

Furniture Design by Nio Life

Blue Sky Lab "Home away from home" concept furniture series is mainly made of surplus seat belt fabric, airbag material, and Haptex leather in automobile manufacturing, creating fashionable collections through recycling.

This furniture series, including end poufs, tea stools, and lamps, combines aesthetics, innovation, and care. It is made of leftovers in automobile manufacturing, following the NIO design approach. The series creates a soft and comfortable atmosphere for the home while promoting sustainability.

The furniture pieces in this series serve multiple purposes. The lamps provide both storage and lighting, making them versatile for different spaces. The leather band allows you to hang up the Cotton Cloud, adding a unique touch to your home decor. The POUFF Collections come in various sizes and trims, offering extra seating options or a way to decorate unused corners of any room.

The "Home Away from Home" concept furniture series is made using recycled materials from airbag fabric, metal/leather leftovers, and Karuun wood. The combination of these materials not only contributes to the unique aesthetic of the furniture but also reduces waste in the automobile manufacturing industry.

The project was launched in December 2020 and debuted at the Shanghai International Automobile Exhibition in April 2021. NIO Life's Blue Sky Lab aims to pioneer future home lifestyles by promoting sustainability and creating a pleasant and sustainable lifestyle for people.

This Design was awarded the Iron A' Furniture Design Award in 2022. The award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The "Home Away from Home" concept furniture series stands out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world.
