Tentang Balanco Sofa
Balanco adalah sofa modular yang dirancang untuk interior kontemporer. Namanya merujuk pada kantilever, prinsip struktural yang digunakan untuk mengurangi kesan bobot pada furnitur ini. Balanco memadukan dudukan berlapis kain yang tampak melayang, sandaran punggung dari kayu solid, serta meja samping batu alam terintegrasi di atas penopang logam. Titik-titik tumpuan yang terlihat diminimalkan, sehingga volume yang besar terkesan ringan. Kayu solid, kuningan, batu alam, linen, kulit, dan beludru menciptakan kontras antara kepadatan material dan keringanan visual. Panjang keseluruhannya adalah 3500 mm.

- Keunikan
- The structure was conceived to minimize visible support points, reducing the perception of weight in a large-scale piece. The contrast between dense materials and the resulting formal lightness establishes a distinctive structural language. The intentional misalignment reinforces its identity, while the cantilevered side table, supported by a metal base, enhances the sense of suspension and lightness.
- Dimensi & Kemasan
- Modular system composed of a suspended upholstered base, structural solid wood backrest, and integrated natural stone side table with metal support.

- Teknologi Produksi
- The structure was designed with strategic load distribution and visually minimized support points, allowing the suspension effect while maintaining structural integrity. The upholstery uses multi-density foams and coverings in linen, leather, and velvet, applied using advanced upholstery techniques. The combination of structural engineering and construction precision transforms high-density materials into a visually light and continuous expression.
- Tantangan Desain
- The challenge was to transform a large-scale piece into a visually lightweight volume, requiring structural refi nement, iterative prototyping, and precise control of proportions and materials. The result demonstrates how engineering and design work together to redefi ne structural perception in contemporary furniture.
- Riset
- Applied research in furniture design focused on the relationship between structure, materiality, and visual perception. The objective was to investigate how structural cantilever and material combinations could reduce the perceived weight of upholstered pieces. The methodology included formal analysis, material experimentation, 3D modeling, and prototyping. The results show that balancing structure and materials redefi nes visual perception, contributing to new approaches in contemporary design.
- Inspirasi
- Architectural and structural references guided the development of a solution that explores visual suspension as a design language. Throughout the process, the investigation of the interaction between solid wood, brass, stone, linen, leather, and velvet guided the search for material balance, where the contrast between physical density and visual lightness defi nes the expression and identity of the piece.
- Durasi Proyek
- The project was developed over two months at the brand’s studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The process involved conceptual investigation, structural development, and material experimentation, focusing on the integration of visual lightness, stability, and balance between different materials, resulting in a solution that combines technical rigor and contemporary expression.
- Alur Operasi
- The sofa integrates the seat and side table into a continuous composition, where the cantilevered element expands its functionality without compromising visual lightness. The structure was conceived to reduce the perception of weight, creating a sense of suspension. Unlike conventional solutions, the solid wood backrest is treated as an essential part of the design, allowing the piece to be freely positioned and appreciated from all angles within the space.
