The squashy back of this sofa by Milan designer Denis Guidone can be pulled into a cosy nest or laid out to cover the upholstered platform like a duvet.
The Disfatto range includes a sofa, chair and small tables for Italian brand D3co.
The collection is made of bamboo, natural latex, cotton and felt.
It will be presented in Milan next month.
We've often featured Guidone's watches on Dezeen before but this is his first furniture project.
If you like this, check out Hanna Emelie Ernsting‘s nest-like couch that you can climb inside or Liliana Ovalle's sofa that's a pile of cushions on a frame.
Here are some more details from Guidone:
Disfatto contains a primordial idea of comfort and has a changeable shape that naturally adapts to our needs.
It changes its colours over time and with the seasons.
It is an essential structure on which rests a shape with soft lines, warm and friendly, which unhinges the principles of ergonomics and creates the perfect imperfections.
The same line includes armchair and a series of small tables which can be used as seats.
I never understand why designers insist on using this peculiar, complicated language. "An essential structure on which rests a shape…". ??? But the one that gets me most here is, "which unhinges the principles of ergonomics". Yes, this design will certainly unhinge ergonomics…. not to mention my neck and back when I try to lean backwards.
Hi, I invite you to try this sofa at the next salone del mobile 2012, pad. 10 stand F20.
You're right in your general consideration, but, believe me, this sofa is really functional and comfortable.
The concept is really simple: the backrest is a REAL backrest and models itself around the shape of your body.
Best wishes
Davide
Interesting. Exciting. Hopefully comfortable.
