"It was imperative that comfort be designed into the aesthetic. Many lounges use a lot of material, structurally, in order to keep it together, but we designed the Sundae Range to challenge this. We needed to build around a minimal steel structure but keep the voluminous shape." - Jason Ju.The Sundae project came about in 2019, when an opportunity arose for Jason, DesignByThem’s Design and Production Coordinator since 2015, to design a product for a market gap that DesignByThem wanted to fill. Under the guidance of directors Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis, Jason has helped develop many of DesignByThem’s current range.

“Many lounges utilise a lot of material, structurally, in order to keep it together, but we designed the Sundae Range to challenge this for the construction. We needed to build around a minimal steel structure but keep the voluminous shape. To do this, we experimented over multiple prototypes with foam layering techniques using specific layers and densities to get a comfortable feel. We also had to be mindful when it came to upholstery as different types of foams interacted differently once stretched and covered.” - Jason Ju.Sundae ultilises multi-layered foam and springs to balance the need for support and comfort. In combination with its hybrid metal and FSC plywood frame the foam used is low VOC, commercial-grade and green star rated.
