The Design

About Cinque Sofá

Cinque es un sofá de tres plazas diseñado para un montaje sencillo sin tornillos ni clavos. Un original sistema de encastre permite montar y desmontar el sofá a mano, tantas veces como sea necesario, sin herramientas. La estructura está realizada en contrachapado de abedul acoplado con Fenix y conformada mediante mecanizado de control numérico. Los cojines están tapizados en ecopiel o en tejidos naturales elaborados artesanalmente. El sofá mide 205 por 88 por 73 centímetros y, una vez desmontado, solo 10 centímetros de altura, por lo que puede guardarse en un espacio reducido. Están disponibles versiones para interior y exterior.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: A minimal sofa that is easy to assemble without the use of screws or nails. Original interlocking assembly system that allows you to assemble and disassemble a 3 seater sofa whenever you need it.
Dimensions & Packaging: Sofa dimensions: 205x88x73 cm.
Sofa disassembled dimensions: 205x88x10 cm.
Tags: sofa, minimal, furniture, divano, plywood, eco
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.
