The Design

About Cinque Sofa

Cinque ist ein Dreisitzer-Sofa, das für eine einfache Montage ohne Schrauben oder Nägel konzipiert wurde. Ein originelles Stecksystem ermöglicht es, das Sofa beliebig oft von Hand und ohne Werkzeug zu montieren und wieder zu zerlegen. Die Struktur besteht aus Birkensperrholz in Verbindung mit Fenix und wird durch CNC-Bearbeitung in Form gebracht. Die Kissen sind mit Kunstleder oder handgefertigten Naturstoffen bezogen. Das Sofa misst 205 mal 88 mal 73 Zentimeter und im zerlegten Zustand nur 10 Zentimeter in der Höhe, sodass es auf kleinstem Raum verstaut werden kann. Es sind Varianten für den Innen- und Außenbereich erhältlich.

Production Technology
Birch plywood coupled with Fenix. Numerical control processing of the structure. Cushions in eco-leather and / or natural handmade fabrics.
Design Challenge
In addition to the conception of the interlocking system, the concept of Cinque is to demonstrate that it is possible to reduce the use of plastic and hardware for the creation of large-volume furniture.
Research
The aim of the project is to create a sofa that can be disassembled and reassembled without the aid of tools and hardware, eliminating the plastic in the packaging and that is recyclable. The Cinque sofa is available in both indoor and outdoor versions where it finds its maximum functionality: when in the winter the sofa has no reason to be used outdoors, it can easily be disassembled and put away, taking up minimal space.
Inspiration
In my removals, the sofa was the most difficult and complex piece of furniture to move. Remembering the Legos I had as a child, I wanted to make this object light, removable and not bulky.
Project Duration
The initial project was born in 2013 for a design competition. Exhibited at the Fuori Salone del Mobile in Milan in the same year and at the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna on the occasion of the Design Week. It was reborn in 2021 in collaboration with a local carpentry.
Operation Flow
The sofa, static and bulky furniture, becomes transportable. It can be disassembled and reassembled as often as desired without the need for tools.
