About Friends Bank
Wat is die doel van 'n bank? Om te ontspan? Maar wat daarvan as jy dit doen met die mense waarvan jy die meeste hou? Dit is die verskil van die Sofa Friends. Ontwerp om die gebruiker in 'n ongewone en meer vriendelike posisie te akkommodeer: nader, van aangesig tot aangesig of sit, ontspanne of lê. Dit is nie daardie gewone TV-bank nie, dit is meer as dit. Dit nooi jou uit om te gesels, nuwe idees te bespreek, jouself te verander, om dieper in 'n intieme oomblik te gaan. 'n Meubelstuk met 'n sterk emosionele ontwerp.
