""I went to the park a lot during the pandemic and basically used it as my office, sitting on the interlocking stones and sketching new ideas. I wanted to develop a modular sofa and realized I was sitting on one. The idea was right underneath me. I just needed to figure out how to make it ergonomic, logical, and rational.""
"Soft Stone Sofa is as much a study in aesthetics as it is function. The latter is achieved, beneath the surface, through subtle variations in its upholstery."
"A strategic interplay of Nosag springs and memory foam ensures that there's firmness where needed and more of a 'sinking-in' feeling elsewhere."
"The especially tall seat is more rigid toward its front so that users can easily get up. The radius of its curved edges was carefully determined."
ClassiCon, known for its reproduction rights to Eileen Gray designs, debuted the Soft Stone Sofa at Salone del Mobile.Milano. Designed by Gabriel Tan, this modular sofa draws inspiration from stacked terrace stones in parks, particularly Parque da Cidade in Porto. The design emphasizes both aesthetics and function, featuring variations in upholstery and a combination of Nosag springs and memory foam for comfort. The sofa's height and curved edges are thoughtfully designed for ease of use and ergonomic support.
