Twenty-Five Sofa, designed by De La Espada Atelier, showcases wood craft with a sculptural solid wood form that wraps around an upholstered seating area. Detailing highlights the timber while enhancing its inherent tactility: rounded corners invite touch while exposed end grain on the back of the sofa and subtle scooped-out details showcase its beauty. Designed for flexible lounging positions, the sofa invites sitting with one’s back against the tall timber sides with legs stretched across the sofa, or lying flat for a nap or sleepover. What appear to be timber armrests are designed to function as side tables, while users are invited to rest their arms on the soft, supportive cushions softening the inner sides of the sofa. Taking into consideration the challenging access in some homes, the robust timber frame was designed to ship in parts, with straightforward assembly at its destination.
