About Toma صوفا

توما هڪ صوفا آهي جيڪو رهائشي جڳهن لاءِ ٺاهيو ويو آهي. توما جي شڪل هڪ ئي ڪپڙي جي ٽڪري کي پوري سيٽ جي چوڌاري ويڙهڻ جي خيال مان آئي آهي، جيئن ڪريپ ڪپڙي جي انداز ۾ هجي. نتيجو هڪ مسلسل سطح آهي جنهن ۾ نرم لهرون آهن جيڪا ويٺل ماڻهوءَ کي پنهنجي گهيري ۾ آڻي ٿي. پيچيده وکريل سطح حاصل ڪرڻ لاءِ اسٽريچ ڪپڙو استعمال ڪيو ويو، جنهن جو ٺاهڻ ڏکيو هو. توما جي ويڪر 1580 ملي ميٽر، اونهائي 950 ملي ميٽر ۽ اوچائي 850 ملي ميٽر آهي. هي ڊزائين هڪ عام فرنيچر جي ٽڪري لاءِ وڌيڪ آزاد شڪل جي ڳولا ڪري ٿو.

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.
