Revolve is a multifunctional sofa that unites seating and sleeping needs. Its design can make a grand statement in a room, and with just a smooth rotation of 180 degrees transforms sitting into sleeping. Revolve offers an optimal sleeping quality while its padding resembles selfstanding mattresses, made of high resilience foam. Thereby it provides equal quality of your sleep on entire lying surfaces – whether in the middle or on the sides. Thanks to its dynamic shape and dual function it can be used in homes, offices and secondary residences. Revolve is the recipient of the RED DOT Award for product design 2012, with which the international jury recognised not only the sofa’s functionality, practicality and exceptional aesthetics, but also prostoria’s outstanding production.
Concept
Our design of the sofa that transforms into the bed is based on our previous experience when we realized that complicated mechanisms do not really function in the long run. That is why we focused on the search for the simplest unfolding method possible. We have created a system with which the backrest rotates at 180 degrees around the seat and becomes part of the bed. The open bed form is symmetrical and fits well independently in the space. The form of this position is equally balanced as the position of a folded sofa, which is often not the case with folding furniture. Just like with mono-functional mattresses, the quality of relaxation is equally distributed along the width owing to the construction made from cold foam and applied on both blocks. Prostoria's expertise in cold foam technology was a very valuable contribution in the process of reaching that functional goal. We highlighted this basic, almost banal unfolding method with a leather handle so that the user accepts the way the sofa functions almost instinctively.

Austria
Product design group For Use was formed through collaboration of Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljkovic in the year 1998. Two members studied at the School of Design in Zagreb, while Katzler studied at High School for Applied Arts in Vienna. Since then the group designed furniture and objects for companies such as Cappellini, ClassiCon, Desalto, Interlubke, Magis, MDF Italia, Moroso, and Zanotta. In 1999 the group realized several important exhibition design projects and established Numen as a group name for projects realized outside of the field of industrial design. In the initial stage the group worked together with Jelenko Hercog and Toni Uroda, graphic and multimedia designers. The work was characterized by experimenting with rule-based design and radical reduction of form in the tradition of High modernism, mostly applied to total-design projects . In 2004 Jonke, Katzler and Radeljkovic started developing set design projects for various theater companies which led to a major breakthrough in 2005 with set design for Infierno in Centro Dramatico Nacional in Madrid. Since then the group designed sets in Belgrade, Berlin, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Madrid, Merida, Osijek, Rijeka, Skopje and Zagreb, mostly with directors Tomaz Pandur and Aleksandar Popovski with whom they developed a continuous cooperation. In 2005 Numen/ForUse established the first design oriented brand for quality furniture in former Yugoslavia - Element, designing visual identity and initial furniture collection. The group has since managed artistic direction and product development of the company. The group has simultaneously developed interior and exterior design projects, usually working with 3lhd and Imarea architects, the most important of which is the integral design of the waterfront in Split realized in 2007. From 2008 on Numen / For Use has been designing objects and concepts without predefined function, resulting in projects like Numen-light, Tape and NET. Besides these prominent realizations, the group has been awarded several international prizes for their work in the fields of set and industrial design.
