The Design

About Toma Sufan

Toma huwa sufan iddisinjat għall-ispazji tal-għajxien. Il-forma ta' Toma ġejja mill-idea li biċċa waħda ta' drapp tiġi mgeżwra madwar is-sit kollu, bl-istil ta' drapp tal-crêpe. Ir-riżultat huwa wiċċ kontinwu b'tidwir artab li jgeżwer lill-persuna bilqiegħda. Intuża drapp elastiku biex tinkiseb il-wiċċ ikkurvat kumpless, li kien diffiċli biex jiġi prodott. Toma jkejjel 1580 mm fil-wisa', 950 mm fil-fond u 850 mm fl-għoli. Id-disinn jesplora forma aktar ħielsa għal biċċa għamara komuni.

Unique Properties: This sofa was born from the act of wrapping it in a single piece.
It has become a unique sofaa with undulations.This project began with the question: could we express the commonplace piece of furniture that is the sofa in a freer form? The idea expanded from the thought that wrapping it in a single piece of fabric, like crepe, might yield an interesting shape, leading us to arrive at this form.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 1580 x Depth 950 x Height 850mm

Production Technology: 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.
