The Sofa as an Object The sofa is perhaps one of the pieces of furniture we interact with most in the spaces we inhabit. Departing from conventional sofa designs defined by horizontal, straight, and rigid geometries, this design explores a more vertical and inclined configuration. When not in use, its distinctive form transforms the sofa into a compact sculptural object, combining aesthetic expression with functional efficiency. The design therefore considers the sofa not only as a piece of furniture, but also as an adaptable spatial element that changes its character according to use.
The Piano Modular Sofa reimagines the traditional sofa by adopting a vertical and inclined design, breaking away from conventional horizontal forms. This innovative approach allows the sofa to serve both as functional seating and as a sculptural focal point when not in use. The modular nature of the design enables users to adapt the configuration based on their needs, whether for relaxation or aesthetic enhancement of the space.
Notable outcomes include its ability to seamlessly integrate into various interior settings while maintaining a minimalist yet striking appearance. The ergonomic inclination supports comfortable seating positions and encourages dynamic interactions with the furniture. Additionally, the compact form when not in use makes it ideal for smaller living spaces where versatility is key.
