The Design

About Friends Sofá

¿Cuál es el propósito de un sofá? ¿Relajarse? Pero, ¿y si lo haces con las personas que más te gustan? Ese es el diferencial de los Sofa Friends. Diseñado para acomodar al usuario en una posición inusual y más amigable: más cerca, cara a cara o sentado, relajado o acostado. No es ese sofá de TV ordinario, es más que eso. Te invita a charlar, discutir nuevas ideas, cambiarte a ti mismo, a profundizar en un momento íntimo. Un mueble con un fuerte diseño emocional.
