We wanted to create a three dimensional dream that brings motion into the room and doesn´t seem static like other sofas, but attracts attention and puts you in a good mood. A humorous journey that makes you feel free. Napali is like relaxing at the jungle beach under a plam tree.”, says Norbert Bretz, who reached the valley of the Napali coast in Hawaii after a 10 hour walk across the cliffs with his backpack where he spent some of his best days ever with a tent and a hammock more than 20 years ago
