Sabot is a playful arrangement of abstract volumes supported by characterful timber feet that are a celebration of Prostoria’s woodworking capability. The modular sofa system takes its name from a type of simple, timber shoe – a nod to these wooden feet. The soft and approachable design language is inspired by residential interiors, and brings a strong playful identity to commercial spaces. Each module has a super-soft, friendly silhouette that floats above the exposed timber legs in a cloud-like way, and these modules can be combined to create linear or island configurations. The movable side accessories – including tables and dividers – mimic the floating language of these seating modules, while planters offer the ability to create green privacy screens. Sabot can be configured to create linear two-, three-, or four-seat sofas and asymmetrical S-shaped configurations that allow for added privacy between seating. The modules can also be connected together to form islands or clustered arrangements. These flexible configurations of low table tops, poufs, and seating modules offer mixed capacity seating for dynamic spaces, such as break-out areas, lobbies, and receptions.
Concept
Rostrum is an infinitely scalable sofa system with a highly sophisticated design language that takes its name from a raised performance platform – a nod to the slender legs that raise the modular seating elements and accessories above the floor. This elevated structure gracefully cradles the soft cushioning and reduces the visual weight of the sofa system. It also allows for the use of a minimal, lightweight, frame system that acts as a signature element across a range of CMF expressions, with the ability to mix and match materials, colours, and finishes. The intuitive functionality of the accessories – such as the simple swivel of the height adjustable table – complements the architectural forms. These linear forms are further emphasized by the ribbed detail of the dividing screens, which echoes the slender legs; while power is integrated seamlessly into the frame structure.
