For Einstein Design same-d designed a sales folder for the ZlowMotion.
The ZlowMotion is an extreme porch swing. It can accommodate up to 12 people, measuring an impressive 10 x 4 x 8 meters. For smaller spaces, the ZlowMotion can be downsized as needed. Pink Steenvoorden originally designed The ZlowMotion for the interactive, site based listening project Oh The Sea (Oh Die Zee), directed by Ingrid van Frankenhuyzen, premiered in 2014 in Scheveningen, a beach resort in The Netherlands. The audience in this walking audio tour project would sit down on three locations and listen to fragments of Homer’s Odyssey over headphones. One of these locations featured three ZlowMotions, designed to mimic the rhythm of the waves, gently rocking and looking out over the sea.
The success of Steenvoorden’s design spawned a number of spinoff applications: ZlowMotions featured prominently in a bespoke roof terrace design commissioned by a company at Schiphol Airport Amsterdam, as well as in the urban ‘I’m Binck’ Festival in The Hague, where it served as a landmark event meeting point.
