Attesting to its unusually adaptable, intuitive, and innovative features, OM Seating’s Plot Twist™ has been recognized as a ground-breaking design for healthcare, educational, and commercial environments.

Plot Twist™ is a mobile, swiveling pouf, with options including a connected, sit-stand/height-adjustable tablet that orbits around the seat for ambidextrous use. Supremely functional and utterly playful, Plot Twist is a surprisingly self-contained and multifunctional mobile workseat that easily adapts to multiple contexts. Plot Twist changes the way we think about movement, function, and collaboration across all sorts of doing-thinking-gathering environments.

Plot Twist won Best in Show at EDspaces, the leading trade show for k-12 academic environments. Presented in partnership with Learning by Design magazine, the Product Innovation Awards program recognizes excellence in products for the learning environment.

Plot Twist was recognized with Healthcare Design’s 2022 Nightingale Gold Award for Guest / Lounge Seating. Presented by Healthcare Design magazine in partnership with The Center for Health Design and the HCD Conference, the awards recognize contributions to the healthcare built environment through product design and innovation that contributes to healing.

Plot Twist won multiple 2022 Best of NeoCon awards at the world’s leading trade show for interior design. Plot Twist received the Gold and Innovation Awards in the Seating: Stools category, and a second Innovation Award in the Collections for Collaboration category. Plot Twist was also named one of four NeoCon Best of Competition finalists. Interior Design Magazine named Plot Twist a HiP award honoree in both Furniture & Seating: Education/Government/Institutional, and Workplace: Bench & Stool. Rounding out the honors, Plot Twist was one of seven products recognized with NeoCon’s new Business Innovation Awards, selected by a panel of journalists from leading business publications, including The New York Times, The Economist, Fast Company, and Forbes.

“We’re grateful and humbled by the overwhelming response,” shares Wilson Chow, OM President. “We imagined Plot Twist as a design-forward, intuitive workseat for all sorts of learning, working, and healing spaces. It’s gratifying to see our intentions recognized with such enthusiasm.”

Designed by Chris and Jon Panichella of Achella Design, Plot Twist serves up solid fundamentals. As a standalone seating element, Plot Twist is a playful, lightweight workseat that can be configured with or without a back rest or a self-retracting, nautical rope handle, and a durable skid base or optional casters for effortless movement. For more traditional, productivity-oriented settings, Plot Twist offers both fixed and adjustable-height table tops in two shapes. With 10 inches of height range, these adaptive work surfaces easily allow for seated-to-standing solo work, collaborations, and even simple presentations. The lift column is a custom design that delivers a smooth, stable, and predictable glide throughout its range.

To raise, simply free-lift the table top and release it at the desired height—no fumbling with levers or paddles. To lower, press the button flush-set into the top and push downward. Swiveling the table around the seat makes it easy to flip the script between left- and right-handed work surfaces.

OM Seating’s Plot Twist finds its role in nearly every environment: the workplace, healthcare facilities, hospitality, education, and government. Features include an upholstered seat and optional back rest in any in-stock, graded in, or COM material; a Graphite-colored base with or without casters; and an optional fixed or adjustable height tablet surface in a rounded rectangle or true circle in three finishes: Graphite or Palladium Grey laminate, or Bamboo.
