sofa Ottoman

Description

A new fabric for a new way of sitting. The new sitting philosophy will likely come closer to the concept of lying down. The seat height is lower than normal, and the open design of the piece of furniture allows greater freedom of movement. The spatial dimensions, the overlapping patterns and the use of color are central considerations in the design of the fabric. The first sketches and scale models by Scholten & Baijings consist of soft rectangular daybeds that lend themselves to various uses: sitting, leaning, lounging or relaxing, alone or in company. The use of fouton typical of Japanese homes served as an important source of inspiration. In the second phase of the project, the idea of ​​using the ancient Ottoman Empire as an imaginary starting point was born. The footstool is also called Ottoman. Ottoman history provides splendid examples of decorative fabrics for interiors combined with low seating, aimed at encouraging social interaction between people. The images evoked are those of drinking tea, smoking a water pipe or the joy of a shared meal. In addition, there are several examples of brightly colored fabric designs with clear graphic patterns used in open and spacious interiors. The furniture design is different from that of the fabrics. Ottoman design is characterized by rounder, softer and more organic shapes. This contrasts with the angular color compositions of the fabrics, creating a magnificent symbiosis. However, they both work effectively on their own as well. Shell in injected flame-retardant polyurethane on internal steel structure. Cushions with insert in fireproof polyurethane foam, polyester fiber and memory foam chip. Base in powder coated steel. The Ottoman collection is not removable.
