The Design

About Cinque Sofá

Cinque é um sofá de três lugares projetado para uma montagem fácil, sem parafusos nem pregos. Um sistema original de encaixe permite montar e desmontar o sofá à mão, quantas vezes for necessário, sem ferramentas. A estrutura é feita de compensado de bétula acoplado a Fenix e moldada por usinagem de controle numérico. As almofadas são revestidas em couro ecológico ou tecidos naturais feitos à mão. O sofá mede 205 por 88 por 73 centímetros e apenas 10 centímetros de altura quando desmontado, podendo ser guardado em um espaço reduzido. Estão disponíveis versões para ambientes internos e externos.

Unique Properties: A minimal sofa that is easy to assemble without the use of screws or nails. Original interlocking assembly system that allows you to assemble and disassemble a 3 seater sofa whenever you need it.
Dimensions & Packaging: Sofa dimensions: 205x88x73 cm.
Sofa disassembled dimensions: 205x88x10 cm.
Tags: sofa, minimal, furniture, divano, plywood, eco
Production Technology: Birch plywood coupled with Fenix. Numerical control processing of the structure. Cushions in eco-leather and / or natural handmade fabrics.
Design Challenge: In addition to the conception of the interlocking system, the concept of Cinque is to demonstrate that it is possible to reduce the use of plastic and hardware for the creation of large-volume furniture.
Research: The aim of the project is to create a sofa that can be disassembled and reassembled without the aid of tools and hardware, eliminating the plastic in the packaging and that is recyclable. The Cinque sofa is available in both indoor and outdoor versions where it finds its maximum functionality: when in the winter the sofa has no reason to be used outdoors, it can easily be disassembled and put away, taking up minimal space.
Inspiration: In my removals, the sofa was the most difficult and complex piece of furniture to move. Remembering the Legos I had as a child, I wanted to make this object light, removable and not bulky.
Project Duration: The initial project was born in 2013 for a design competition. Exhibited at the Fuori Salone del Mobile in Milan in the same year and at the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna on the occasion of the Design Week. It was reborn in 2021 in collaboration with a local carpentry.
Operation Flow: The sofa, static and bulky furniture, becomes transportable. It can be disassembled and reassembled as often as desired without the need for tools.
