About Shell Soffa
Shell är en omvandlingsbar soffa designad för hem och offentliga miljöer som skolor och köpcentrum. Soffans ryggstöd är flexibelt och kan flyttas med några enkla rörelser. Shell kan användas som loungesoffa, dubbelsidig soffa eller sittpuff. Ramen är tillverkad av metall och klädd med tyg och mjuk stoppning. Soffan mäter 1800 mm i längd, 1200 mm i höjd och 800 mm i djup. Två färgversioner erbjuds: vit och grå med guldfärgade kuddar, samt mörkgrå med röda kuddar. Omvandlingsbarheten gör att soffan kan återanvändas när ett rum förändras.

- Design Challenge
- To show object transformation capabilities, its universality, reuse. To induce an emotional response from the viewer.
- Research
- Functions: 1. For public spaces in which various events are often held (schools, colleges, shopping centers, exhibition centers). 2. And also for residential small spaces, with the need to change the functions of the room. 3. For standard and large living spaces, so that the design of the sofa allows reuse when changing the design.
- Inspiration
- Marine inhabitants often use shells to change the functions of their bodies. I wanted to use that principle for the couch. By applying a little fantasy, a person can change it and turn into other pieces of furniture. This ability gives positive emotions, and it may be very useful when changing the design or functionality of the room so that a person can use the sofa again. Repeated use of furniture has a great impact on the environment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2018 in Moscow and finished in May 2018 in Moscow.
- Operation Flow
- A person can have a totally new experience interacting with this piece of furniture. You can use a couple of movements to move the back of the sofa and transform it depending on what you need at the moment: to meet guests, sit down or take a nap.
