The Design

About Toma Sofa

Toma je sofa dizajnirana za stambene prostore. Forma Tome proizlazi iz ideje omotavanja jednog komada tkanine oko cijelog sjedišta, na način krep tkanine. Rezultat je kontinuirana površina s mekim valovitim oblicima koja obavija osobu koja sjedi. Za postizanje složene zakrivljene površine, koju je bilo teško proizvesti, korištena je rastezljiva tkanina. Toma ima širinu od 1580 mm, dubinu od 950 mm i visinu od 850 mm. Dizajn istražuje slobodniju formu za uobičajeni komad namještaja.

Unique Properties: This sofa was born from the act of wrapping it in a single piece.
It has become a unique sofaa with undulations.This project began with the question: could we express the commonplace piece of furniture that is the sofa in a freer form? The idea expanded from the thought that wrapping it in a single piece of fabric, like crepe, might yield an interesting shape, leading us to arrive at this form.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 1580 x Depth 950 x Height 850mm

Production Technology: Creating the shape of the tertiary surface proved extremely challenging. It was achieved by employing stretch fabric.
Design Challenge: Expressing the form of the cubic surface and realising it while utilising the engineers' skills proved extremely challenging. Through repeated discussions, we continued to seek the correct solution until completion was achieved.
