About this product
Architonic ID: 20728828
The low-set, high-backed Nook sofa has a compact design that nevertheless has an air of lightness about it. Its form is unique because it adds a nest of comfort to a room rather than dividing up the space. The outside of the sofa boasts clear lines that complement the architecture, and the inside is soft and feminine. Like a 1950s vase, the lines are elegantly upwardly tapered, creating a delicate sculpture-like look. Piping separating the interior and exterior of the sofa, makes
playful and creative design variants possible. The narrow joints are not intended to be modular.
Concept
The word 'nook' can mean a 'retreat' and says it all about this sofa designed by Jehs+Laub with its piping edge and a deepness you can sink into exquisitely – enveloped by the high back, rising armrests, supportive lumbar cushions and a slatted frame hidden inside. Now just put your feet up on the matching stool and deposit your belongings on the side table, and the sense of a warm, secure nest is complete.
