Tulipan is a new type of soft enclosure, a piece of furniture that offers a moment of separation without the sensation of closing the door on its surroundings. Developed by London-based design studio Industrial Facilities in response to the annual "definition" brief, Tulipan suggests a softer form for the private space in the open plan. It's not a room in itself. Nor is it a phone booth. Rather, it's a micro-calm space where a comfortable seat and a small table work together to form an architectural element.
