In 2014 we brought you Mood by René Holten. A sleekly-upholstered bucket seat with five different bases and four different upholstery styles.
Mood offers a variety of colour and fabric options to suit a wide range of interior styles.
By carefully observing sitting positions and sitting behaviours in different situations, we discovered a demand for both relaxed and active postures. For example, a meeting environment requires a more active posture than a dinner setting. That is why we introduce the Mood Active. A bucket seat for a more upright sitting position, but with all the same features and options the original Mood has.
