The Design

About Toma Sofá

Toma es un sofá diseñado para espacios de estar. La forma de Toma nace de la idea de envolver todo el asiento con una única pieza de tela, a la manera de un paño de crepé. El resultado es una superficie continua, de suaves ondulaciones, que arropa a la persona sentada. Se empleó tejido elástico para lograr la compleja superficie curva, difícil de producir. Toma mide 1580 mm de ancho, 950 mm de profundidad y 850 mm de altura. El diseño explora una forma más libre para una pieza de mobiliario habitual.

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.
