About Stoniture Sofa

Stoniture er en sofa inspireret af naturstens form. Designet har en buet kant og en bred støtteflade for at give en komfortabel og afslappet siddeposition. Sædeskummet tilpasser sig let under vægt, så siddefladen følger kroppen. Stellet er lavet af træ, og sædet indeholder skum med en densitet på 30. Sofaen måler 110 gange 95 gange 50 centimeter. Den enkle form skal afspejle naturstens enkelhed og skabe en følelse af fortrolighed. Stoniture blev designet i Teheran i 2023.
