About Loover Sofa
Loover is a sofa designed for simple assembly and disassembly. The separate, detachable parts are joined without tools and without screws, nails, pegs or glue. The connection method keeps the frame stable and sturdy. The frame combines walnut veneered birch boards, cut and shaped by a CNC machine, with a metal base made from a hollow circular profile finished in electrostatic paint. The seat and back cushions are upholstered in fabric. Loover can be transported and stored with ease, and wood textures, base colors and fabrics can be combined in many ways.

Commission DesignInterviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
My basic principle for designing the sofa "LOOVER" was to differentiate myself from the standard model of a sofa. The idea came from looking at the first letter of my name, which is "C". So, I thought it might reflect the floor plan of a sofa with a single back and arms. The extension of my thinking was to place another "C", one below the other, to have a three-dimensional version of the main idea of the sofa.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
My main focus in designing this sofa has been the way it is assembled. Its parts are separate and detachable, connected together in a way that does not require the use of tools, while this does not negatively affect its static balance and sturdiness. For this reason the assembling and disassembling of this sofa is extremely simple and uncomplicated.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
I have already built a sofa in order to use it at the first opportunity in an exhibition. The best scenario would be a company that manufactures high quality furniture to buy or to lease the production rights and put it into production.

- Production Technology
- Harmonious and apparent coexistence of natural wood and metal in combination with innovative design and contemporary aesthetics, have resulted in the creation of this sofa frame.
Fine walnut veneered bare endgrain birch boards, cut and formed by a CNC machine, on a metal base of a circular electrostatic paint hollow profile.
Seat and back cushions are made of high quality materials, complying with the specifications required for a modern and comfortable sofa, and upholstered in fabric of your own choice. - Design Challenge
- The only difficulty I faced was when I decided to construct the sofa. I had to find the suitable manifacturers in order to do the job for me and it was at that time, I realised that none of them wanted to deal with only one piece. Things would be easier for me, if I was interested in the production of a bigger ammount of sofas.

- Inspiration
- As a designer,I aspire to break away from the average mode of furniture manufacturing by avoiding the use of screws, nails, pins, glue or other such materials.I designed the LOOVER sofa with parts that are assembled and joined together in elaborate ways, in order to produce a high-quality and elegant sofa design that in no case do not lack in durability and stability.
This makes it extremely simple to assemble or disassemble it -without the use of hand tools- as well as transport or store it, and results in reduced and minimized costs of manufacturing. - Project Duration
- The idea was conceped in December 2017 and the design was completed in August 2018. The construction of the sofa took place in January 2019.
- Operation Flow
- This design is a functional and comfortable sofa that can be assembled and disassembled in an easy and clever way. That means that it can be transported or stored without dificulties. Also it provides a lot of combinations between wood textures, colors of metal base and fabrics.
