About Corner Sofa Fotelja

Ugao je sofa fotelja dizajnirana za domove i javne prostore. Ram je izrađen od jasenovog drveta i sastavljen tradicionalnim spojevima čep i utor. Primenjuju se procesi sušenja, poliranja i lakiranja kako bi se poboljšala trajnost. Mekana tapaciranja i presvlaka od tkanine kombinovani su sa drvenim ramom. Tvrdi trouglasti naslon za ruke kontrastira sa zaobljenim tapaciranim konturama. Zakrivljenost sedišta, ugao nagiba naslona za leđa i visina naslona za ruke prate ergonomske principe. Dimenzije fotelje su 630 x 700 x 840 milimetara.

Design Challenge
The challenge was how to achieve a harmonious unity of practicality, comfort, and art. To address that, the sofa chair marries simple, clear lines with soft curved surfaces, giving a unique visual aesthetic and improving comfort of use. Moreover, the design team, following ergonomic principles, has optimized the curvature of the seat, the tilt angle of the backrest, and the height of the armrests to ensure optimal support and an ultimate experience for users.
Research
Based on the research into the needs of multifunctional public spaces and a deep understanding of modern design, the design team is committed to creating an artistic, comfortable, and practical sofa chair to satisfy the demands of various scenarios and provide users with an ideal solution for leisure and relaxation.
Inspiration
The leisure sofa chair, inspired by modern styles, takes minimalism, scientifically reasonable construction, and a deep understanding of material properties as the core. By skillfully combining a structured solid wood frame with soft upholstery, the design team has created a comfortable sofa chair that not only fully embodies rational aesthetics but also boasts remarkable recognizability.
Project Duration
This project started in Beijing in January 2024 and completed in June 2024.
Operation Flow
To enhance the user experience, the design team has utilized the padding with excellent resilience and support, while also innovating curved surfaces based on ergonomics. Besides, the lowered seat and armrests, as well as the backrest with an optimal tilt angle, ensure the chair can well fit the human body to avoid physical fatigue from prolonged sitting, offering users a comfortable space to relax.
