Category: Big Sofa Book

A week after I received the book More than 999 new and forgotten (arm) chairs I received The Big Sofa Book from Peter van Zoetendaal.

Like the 999 (Arm) chair book I had inspired Peter, who is a Chair/Sofa designer himself, to create this A4 format book with 4 sofa’s on each page with a personal note of Peter about designer, manufacturer or brand of the sofa.

I use it as an inspiration for further posts.

Micro Mega Sofa by Roberto Romanello for Adrenalina


Micro Mega Sofa by Roberto Romanello for Adrenalina

Micromega focuses on man and his needs to meet and socialize in defined, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing spaces; hence the reason why we symbolically borrowed the circular and square shapes of Leonardo’s Vitruvian scheme.

Micromega is a micro-architecture intended for mega public spaces, such as hotel lobbies, and allows you to create endless and stunning combinations.
Micromega is a modular upholstered seating system for commercial settings, but with small modules that can be used even in contemporary residential spaces.

Sly Sofa by Italo Pertichini For Adrenalina

Sly Sofa by for Adrenalina

The full curves and wraparound form define the design of Sly. Sly is available in two versions: with low back or high back, opening like a shell to welcome someone seeking a cozy corner or an oasis of privacy. Both versions are characterized by two small, “magical windows” – cracks that open to the outside world, but that retain discretion and privacy, closed with colored strings that break the severity of the lines with their lacing.

Hive Sofa by Alexandre Caldas for Around the Tree

Hive Sofa by Alexandre Caldas for Around the Tree

“The idea of the HIVE sofa was inspired by the way bees
build their hives and the strenght that this very structure has.
From this point on, the idea of the sofa started to be drawn
in my head and then finally materialized.”
