The Design

About Stoniture Sofá

Stoniture é um sofá inspirado na forma da pedra natural. O design apresenta uma borda curva e uma ampla superfície de apoio, proporcionando uma posição de assento confortável e relaxada. A espuma do assento cede ligeiramente sob o peso, de modo que a superfície de assento acompanha o corpo. A estrutura do corpo é feita de madeira, e o assento contém espuma com densidade 30. O sofá mede 110 por 95 por 50 centímetros. A forma simples pretende refletir a simplicidade da pedra natural e criar uma sensação de familiaridade. O Stoniture foi projetado em Teerã, em 2023.
