About Fluf 소파

Fluf는 일상의 휴식과 편안함을 위해 디자인된 소파입니다. 넉넉한 볼륨감과 유기적인 곡선을 지니고 있습니다. 목재 베이스가 부드러운 패브릭 쿠션 바디를 지지합니다. 베이스는 구조적 안정성과 내구성을 위해 정밀한 목공 절단과 접합 방식으로 제작되었습니다. 좌석, 등받이, 팔걸이 쿠션에는 밀도가 서로 다른 폼을 충전하여 지지력과 부드러움의 균형을 맞추었습니다. 조절 가능한 사이드 등받이는 독서, 휴식, 담소 등 다양한 사용 방식을 가능하게 합니다. 소파의 크기는 너비 260cm, 깊이 101cm, 높이 85cm입니다.

The seat backrest and arm cushions are filled with foams of varying densities strategically selected to balance support and softness. The textile finish is applied with careful sewing and shaping techniques ensuring ergonomic comfort and a refined appearance.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was balancing the organic look of the design with the needs for comfort adjustability and sustainable materials.
