About Capsule Modularna sofa

Capsule je modularna sofa dizajnirana za dnevne prostore. Dizajn prati mekan, retro-futuristički jezik, sa zaobljenim formama inspirisanim kapsulom koja izranja iz zemlje. Nasloni za ruke su oblikovani kao udobne površine, tako da ljudi mogu da se opuste i odmore na celoj sofi, a ne samo na sedištu. Capsule je izrađena od meke pene i presvučena elastičnom tkaninom sa trodimenzionalnom teksturom saća. U ponudi je nekoliko modula, tako da svaki korisnik može da sastavi ličnu kompoziciju za svoj prostor.

Production Technology
The sofa is crafted from plush soft foam and enveloped in an elastic fabric featuring a unique three-dimensional honeycomb texture, adding both visual depth and tactile comfort.
Design Challenge
As mentioned before the most challenging part was designing an iconic product who can be accepted by the market.
Research
The challenge began with the goal of designing an iconic product, one that defies trends and stands out from the ordinary. From the initial sketches, we explored soft, inviting shapes instead of the rigid, serious forms that dominate the furniture industry today. The color palette focused on pastel tones, with the first concept emerging in a soothing, soft pink. To emphasize relaxation and friendliness, we reimagined the armrests, traditionally structural and overlooked, transforming them into the most comfortable and inviting parts of the sofa.
Inspiration
The Capsule Sofa embodies nature’s rebirth, inspired by a pod emerging from the earth with grace and elegance. More than just furniture, it symbolizes growth, blending raw natural beauty with refined craftsmanship. Each curve tells a story of transformation, where sophistication meets organic form. A timeless piece, it brings the serene essence of nature into your home, celebrating the harmony of design and the elegance that springs from the earth.
Project Duration
The project started in early June 2024 and the first product presentation happened at the Shanghai Furniture Fair in September 2024. At the end of the year has been awarded during the Guangzhou Design week with the Kapok Product Design Award 2024.
Operation Flow
As mentioned earlier, the key features include the flexibility to customize the structure using various modules and the innovative armrest design, which allows you to utilize the entire sofa surface for ultimate relaxation.
