The Design
About Toma Sofa
Toma – tai sofa, sukurta gyvenamosioms erdvėms. Toma forma kilo iš idėjos apvynioti visą sėdimąją dalį vienu audinio gabalu, panašiai kaip blynų tešlos lakštu. Rezultatas – vientisas paviršius su švelniais bangavimais, apgaubiantis sėdintį žmogų. Sudėtingam lenktam paviršiui, kurį buvo nelengva pagaminti, pasiekti buvo panaudotas tamprus audinys. Toma matmenys: 1580 mm pločio, 950 mm gylio ir 850 mm aukščio. Šiuo dizainu tyrinėjama laisvesnė įprasto baldo forma.

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