Muuto Wants You To Go Skygazing More With the Dream View Bench

Summary

• Muuto and Lise Vester have unveiled the all-new Dream View Chair, a reflective stainless steel chair designed for skygazing.

Set to be unveiled at Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign, Muuto and Danish designer Lise Vester have designed the Dream View Bench, a curvaceous steel seat designed for ergonomic skygazing.

Vester started the design by mapping her posture in the sand of a beach, and translating the shape to styrofoam. After testing the design with people of various ages and heights, the designer refined the shape to find the most comfortable design for looking at the sky. Made in Denmark, the Dream View Chair is available in single 60cm seats and 100cm two-seaters for a shared experience.

The chair’s reflective materiality refracts surrounding hues in the chair’s undulating curves, creating not only a functional piece of furniture but also a modern statement suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Most notably, the piece becomes drenched with the colors of the open sky when placed outside, adding a striking visual element to the design.

“The sky remains ever-present – limitless and available to most, as long as we remember to look up. When we do, natural daylight, shifting colors, the moon, passing clouds, and birds suddenly feel within reach. This beauty – and these small moments of appreciation – are often overlooked in the rush of daily life. I wanted to create a design that draws the viewer’s gaze upward, curating moments of focus and daydreaming while gazing,” Lise Vester said in a statement.

The Dream View Bench will be pre-launched at the Muuto space in Copenhagen during the 3daysofdesign festival and will officially be released in September 2025.
