Puls is not your ordinary bookcase or desk; it is a versatile system of compatible parts that can be easily assembled to create various furniture configurations. Whether you need a bench, a meetings table, a windscreen, or even a wardrobe, Puls can be transformed into any of these and more. Its adaptability and compatibility make it a truly agile furniture solution.
What sets Puls apart is not just its versatility, but also its sustainable production. Made entirely from 21mm birch plywood using C.N.C. wood machine technology, Puls eliminates the need for screws, nuts, bolts, or adhesives. This not only reduces waste but also allows for easy assembly and disassembly. By utilizing local C.N.C. machines, Puls can be produced closer to its future owners, minimizing transportation costs and pollution.
The mechanical properties of birch plywood make Puls lightweight, durable, and sustainable. Its ergonomic design and simple assembly process make it user-friendly and accessible to anyone. Puls is not just functional; it is also a fun and creative experience. The possibilities for customization and transformation are limited only by our individual creativity.
Designed in early 2018 in Rennes, France, Puls is the result of extensive research and attention to detail. Inspired by the principles of Dieter Rams, Puls embodies innovation, usefulness, aesthetics, simplicity, and sustainability. It offers new opportunities for companies, providing them with a tool for Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility.
The creative challenge of Puls was to break away from traditional assembly principles and create a system that maximizes compatibility and composition possibilities. The result is a furniture system that offers freedom and adaptability in any environment. As Charles Darwin once said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change."
Puls has received recognition for its ingenuity and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that demonstrate exceptional technical and creative skills while contributing to improvements in quality of life.
With Puls, Yves-Marie Geffroy has reimagined furniture design, combining versatility, sustainability, and creativity. This agile furniture system offers endless possibilities for customization, transforming spaces and enhancing our everyday lives.
