Peter Halley creates geometric compositions as diagrams of social forms of organization in his paintings and graphics. Halley refers to the rectangular constructs as 'cells'. These are often connected to one or more 'conduits' and metaphorically stand for the hidden systems and structures that determine action in post-industrial societies. The design for the 'Conduit' sofa takes up this principle congenially. The title of the sofa 'Conduit' refers to Halley.
