uboot.com is a company that provides an internet platform for a youth network with blogs, galleries and videos. The company desired a stand with a lounge atmosphere adequate for the business environment with an innovative configuration representing the youth groups of social network platform in the internet. The design is based on a single volume hovering above the stand. This volume consists of 1280 textile ribbons of different lengths suspended from the

The ends of the ribbons form a surface that creates differentiated spaces with a variation of intimacies. Beside this open space created by the ribbons, the single volume itself is permeable; the ribbons are more a filter than a barrier. The atmosphere of the stand is dominated by the softness and the movement of the textile ribbons, which are almost immaterial, just present enough to reflect the light, as intangible as the Internet itself.
