Sink Into Modular Seating Inspired By Cargo Crates

Lest the name Cargo dredge up worrisome thoughts of tariffs and supply-chain disruptions, fear not: This neat modular seating system is comfy enough to put global geopolitics out of mind. Conceived by ADDI, Cargo boasts a special design detail: crisscrossed straps of fabric or Mizetto-branded nylon that depress the units in a striking X-marks-the-spot gesture. Offered in backrest, low, and corner versions, the cubic modules are produced of locally sourced materials in Kalmar, Sweden—where Mizetto and ADDI are both based. Plywood and chipboard frames padded with injection-molded polyurethane are outfitted in removable (by Velcro) upholstery sporting matching or contrasting straps. Just like shipping containers, this cargo can stand solo or gang, via connectors in the base, to support any manner of perching and gathering.
