About Toma 梳化

Toma係一款為居住空間而設計嘅梳化。Toma嘅造型意念源自用一整幅布包裹住成個座位,好似縐布咁樣。成品係一個帶有柔和起伏嘅連續曲面,將坐喺上面嘅人包圍住。為咗實現呢個難以製作嘅複雜曲面,設計採用咗彈性布料。Toma闊1580毫米、深950毫米、高850毫米。呢個設計為一件常見嘅家具探索出更自由嘅形態。

Unique Properties
This sofa was born from the act of wrapping it in a single piece.
It has become a unique sofaa with undulations.This project began with the question: could we express the commonplace piece of furniture that is the sofa in a freer form? The idea expanded from the thought that wrapping it in a single piece of fabric, like crepe, might yield an interesting shape, leading us to arrive at this form.
