About Corcovado Sofa
Corcovado to sofa zaprojektowana do przestrzeni mieszkalnych. Forma inspirowana jest wzgórzami Corcovado i podąża za organiczną, płynną linią. Oparcie sięga do połowy siedziska i owija się wokół niego. Podstawa z długimi drewnianymi bokami biegnie wzdłuż mebla, pełniąc funkcję podpory. Wykończenia obejmują drewno i tkaniny. Sofa mierzy 4,8 metra szerokości, 0,92 metra wysokości i 1,9 metra głębokości. W zestawie znajdują się cztery poduszki dekoracyjne, dzięki czemu każdy właściciel może dostosować komfort i wygląd do własnych upodobań. Projekt łączy rzeźbiarską formę z ergonomicznym komfortem.

- Production Technology
- Every detail of the Corcovado Sofa is designed to connect, to express a narrative where form follows function, and both follow fantasy. With it, Victor Leite reaffirms his position as a product designer and brand curator in the high decoration segment. The sofa is a testament to his commitment not only to aesthetics and comfort, but also to the idea that a design object should inspire, should speak to the space and to those who inhabit it.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of the design of the Corcovado Sofa was to balance aesthetic innovation with ergonomics. The creative challenge was to create a sculptural piece inspired by nature without sacrificing comfort. Obstacles included material and technology limitations for shaping complex shapes, as well as adjusting the design to meet ergonomic standards. External factors, such as production technologies and material availability, also influenced the final choices.
- Research
- The design research of the Corcovado Sofa was qualitative, aiming to create a piece of furniture that combined sculptural form with comfort. Interviews, 3D prototypes and ergonomic tests were used. Participants included users and design experts. The results showed the need for adjustments in the structure. The insights revealed the value of organic aesthetics in functionality. The research impacted design, promoting innovation and meeting market and social demands.
