About Corcovado Sofa
Corcovado ni sofa iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya sehemu za kuishi. Umbo lake limehamasishwa na vilima vya Corcovado na hufuata mstari wa asili unaotiririka. Sehemu ya kuegemeza mgongo inaendelea hadi katikati ya kiti na kukizunguka. Msingi wenye pande ndefu za mbao unapita kando ya kipande hiki kama tegemeo. Ukamilishaji unajumuisha mbao na vitambaa. Sofa hii ina upana wa mita 4.8, urefu wa mita 0.92 na kina cha mita 1.9. Mito minne ya mapambo imejumuishwa, ili kila mmiliki aweze kurekebisha faraja na mwonekano kulingana na ladha yake binafsi. Ubunifu huu unachanganya umbo la kisanaa na faraja ya kiergonomiki.

The creative challenge was to create a sculptural piece inspired by nature without sacrificing comfort. Obstacles included material and technology limitations for shaping complex shapes, as well as adjusting the design to meet ergonomic standards. External factors, such as production technologies and material availability, also influenced the final choices.

- The design research of the Corcovado Sofa was qualitative, aiming to create a piece of furniture that combined sculptural form with comfort. Interviews, 3D prototypes and ergonomic tests were used. Participants included users and design experts. The results showed the need for adjustments in the structure. The insights revealed the value of organic aesthetics in functionality. The research impacted design, promoting innovation and meeting market and social demands.
