On April 29, in Mexico City, Sunon officially launched H5 - our latest ergonomic seating solution and a new chapter in sustainable design. Dealer partners, designers, architects, clients, and friends of the brand came together for an evening of dialogue, exploration, and shared purpose.
Designing for a Circular Future
Created by renowned industrial designer Andreas Krob of B4K Studio, H5 reflects a vision where elegance meets environmental responsibility. Its minimalist silhouette belies a complex balance: a chair that is intuitive in function, ergonomic in form, and consciously made using recycled materials. H5 doesn’t just look forward - it builds forward.
Andreas shared the design journey behind H5, emphasizing its modular structure, use of recycled content, and the intentionality behind every detail - all aimed at meeting the demands of a circular future.
Design in Dialogue: Material, Meaning, and Connection
While Andreas delved into H5’s creation, two guest speakers offered broader reflections on how design interacts with culture, sustainability, and global exchange - expanding the conversation beyond the product itself.
Nyra Troyce, an experienced textile and interior designer, spoke on “El diseño: una elección consciente” - design as a conscious choice. She emphasized the role of intention in design decisions, highlighting how thoughtful material use can shape more responsible and meaningful outcomes. For Nyra, sustainability begins with intention - with every choice carrying social and ecological significance.
Juan Pablo Serrano, a famous architect and professor, brought a global lens to the discussion. In his talk “Asia, Mexico, Europe & Design,” he traced the historical trade and cultural links between East and West - from ancient silk roads to contemporary collaborations. H5, he noted, is more than a product of cross-border cooperation; it stands as a symbol of what design can achieve when cultures meet with a shared purpose. “Our world,” he concluded, “is deeply connected.”
Together, the three speakers illustrated how design today is shaped by more than form and function - it’s guided by values, shaped by dialogue, and capable of carrying both individual and collective meaning.
A Moment that Moves Forward
Throughout the space, guests experienced H5 with curiosity and delight - sitting, exploring, reflecting. Some paused for photos, others created handmade crafts, and many reconnected over conversations about the evolving role of design.
H5 is now in the world - light in weight, bold in intent, and shaped by a future-forward mindset. But this is just the beginning. Because when we design with empathy and act with conscience, we don’t just make better products. We create a better path.
