Levels Bridge

The intuitive sofa system Levels is Form Us With Love’s response to +Halle’s brief on dwelling; an answer to a break in the day, a seat for a quick lunch or a place for a short read. What began as concepts and ideas of a seating landscape, where a natural pause can be experienced together or individually, became an interlaced structure allowing for dwell-time facing different directions, far apart, and at different eye levels. Built as a lightweight, sculptural form, Levels is there to gain tension in any public area. “We prototyped many different heights, and +Halle sampled eight intertwined sofas, that together, looked alluring. Immediately, people began to use them, by finding pockets inside the grid,” says Form Us With Love’s Creative Director, John Löfgren. This minimal series of soft wing shapes, resting on two columns, utilise a woven configuration to make multiple dwelling spaces, borrowing from the minimal ideas of fallen logs in the woods, and urban sets of stairs. The system that emerges out of Levels, subsequently, lends itself to a natural, intuitive behaviour.
