"The Halo seating system comes from the idea of mixing and matching different backrest elements to create a variety of seating configurations, ranging from a single seat easychair, a public seating system, and a three-seat sofa that works well in different environments." - Stefan Krivokapic (Skrivo Design)

The pieces that compose the HALO seating system are the backrests - for one seat and a larger one for two seats - and the similar pieces designed for seating.
These pieces combined, lead to an easy chair, a sofa and a public seat comprising to separate seats and a common backrest.

Comments

"The main feature is a very large backrest that can provide additional comfort, but also increases privacy and improves acoustics without the need to close oneself in. The system is called ‘Halo’ because the backrest/headrest is reminiscent of a saint’s halo."
