Montreal's Domison design studio recently introduced "Twist," a "part lounge, part sofa" seating system that might serve as a playful centerpiece to any living space. Colorful upholstery belies the straightforward materials—high-density foam on a hardwood frame—while the distinctive form allows for custom configurations.

Perfect for a hotel lobby or a minimalistic condo, TWIST incorporates multiple heights, shapes, colours and textures. "Our main goal is to touch, inspire, and elevate the senses," explains Thien Ta Trung, co-owner and designer of DOMISON. "We aim to bring a room to life with our furniture."

This distinct design is not driven solely by aesthetic, but also by utility. Made to order, TWIST is produced according to each customer's specifications and can be tailor-made to suit the most difficult of spaces.

Personally, I think it looks like a magnified chunk of a transit map... or a segment of DNA.

The sibling duo behind Domison is none other than Thien and My Ta Trung of Periphere. They hope to "stand out" and "embrace the present" with a "bold contemporary mindset":Through our designs, we share our lifestyle, a lust for sharp proportions, an appreciation of the timeless yet avant-garde, striking modernity, rich woods, excellent craftsmanship, attention to details, and an unmistakable urban energy.
