About Friends Sofá

Cal é o propósito dun sofá? Relaxarse? Pero e se o fas coa xente que máis che gusta? Ese é o diferencial dos Sofa Friends. Deseñado para acomodar ao usuario nunha posición inusual e máis amigable: máis preto, cara a cara ou sentado, relaxado ou deitado. Non é ese sofá de televisión normal, é máis ca iso. Invítache a conversar, discutir novas ideas, cambiarte, a afondar nun momento íntimo. Un moble cun forte deseño emocional.
