The Design

About Toma Diivan

Toma on elamispindadele mõeldud diivan. Toma vorm lähtub ideest mähkida kogu iste ühte kangatükki, sarnaselt kreppkangaga. Tulemuseks on pehmete lainetustega katkematu pind, mis ümbritseb istujat. Keeruka kumera pinna saavutamiseks, mida oli raske toota, kasutati venivat kangast. Toma laius on 1580 mm, sügavus 950 mm ja kõrgus 850 mm. Disain otsib tavapärasele mööbliesemele vabamat vormi.

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.

Production Technology
Creating the shape of the tertiary surface proved extremely challenging. It was achieved by employing stretch fabric.
