The 2026 Core77 Design Awards Editors Choice prize goes to Peaks, a modular and adaptable seating system designed by fuseproject for Moooi. Inspired by the angular landscape of the Swiss Alps, Peaks “transforms the traditional, static sofa into a flexible social terrain” by combining triangular foam modules with fabric hinges, which “allows a single person to reconfigure the seating environment in seconds, shifting from a solitary workspace to a communal conversation pit.”
The design ditches the traditional front-and-back orientation, enabling 360-degree interaction and accommodating a wide range of postures, from upright work to full floor-level lounging. This embraces the modern notion of a multi-dimensional living space. The combination of social interaction, adaptability and a striking aesthetic made this project a favorite of the Core77 team.
Congratulations to the team from fuseproject on this outstanding entry!
