- Production Technology
- Livorno Sofa stands on a sturdy wood construction and heavy duty elastic belts. 32 density foam and snake-spring layer combinations create a soft seating experience. Top quality flam velvet fabric reinforces the feeling of tactility and comfort, while faux leather and boucle cushions emphasize the rich material combination in the living area. The sofa is designed modular to ease the transportation problems and to give the user chance to make their own combinations.
- Design Challenge
- During the product design process, we invested time in searching for a form that would sit to the ground, offer ergonomic benefits by ensuring contact with every part of the body, including the neck, while maintaining a smooth overall structure. Numerous experiments were conducted using various foam to achieve the optimal comfort level.
And also ensuring modularity emerged as a key concern to address production, logistics, and cost-related challenges. - Research
- Asymmetrical lines and exclusive comfort were our headlines
to start this project. We wanted Livorno Sofa to be an
impressive centerpiece. We researched different comfort
layers and assembled them with ergonomic needs.
The form of the sofa was meant to be rather large scale to
emphasize the comfort. Fabric had to connect to this sense
of comfort at some level, therefore we chose velvet. - Inspiration
- Inspired by the feeling of lying on the grass, Livorno sofa promises you a comfort above the clouds. The green flame velvet fabric, exclusively designed boucle cushions, and brown-toned leather were inspired by the natural balance of soil, tree bark, and grass in nature. The arms touch the ground and the base is lined with a leather strip, representing natural elements. This modular sofa can be combined in different configurations, similar to natural stone structures.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2023 in Istanbul and finished in December 2023 in Istanbul and was exhibited in Istanbul Furniture Fair in January 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Thanks to its modularity, Livorno Sofa can be used in many different ways, adapt to different decorative styles and meet different customer needs. This product can be a corner sofa, 3 seater sofa and 4 seater sofa.
