About Toma Sofa
Toma bizitzeko espazioetarako diseinatutako sofa bat da. Tomaren forma ehun zati bakar bat eserleku osoaren inguruan biltzeko ideiatik dator, krepe oihalaren erara. Emaitza gainazal jarraitu bat da, uhindura leunak dituena eta eserita dagoen pertsona inguratzen duena. Ehun elastikoa erabili zen gainazal kurbatu konplexua lortzeko, ekoizteko zaila zena. Tomak 1580 mm-ko zabalera, 950 mm-ko sakonera eta 850 mm-ko altuera ditu. Diseinuak altzari arrunt baterako forma askeago bat esploratzen du.

- Creating the shape of the tertiary surface proved extremely challenging. It was achieved by employing stretch fabric.
- Design Challenge
- Expressing the form of the cubic surface and realising it while utilising the engineers' skills proved extremely challenging. Through repeated discussions, we continued to seek the correct solution until completion was achieved.
