Sofas

A sofa here is built as a shell first and a seat second. The shell is plated by nano-spray and polished until the silver reads as one continuous surface with no seam where it turns — which is why the curves can be this tight. The upholstery sits inside that shell rather than on top of it, so the hard edge stays visible and the soft part is held within it.

If the room is long, the three-metre pieces seat four and keep an upright back at 930mm, which suits conversation better than slumping. The low-back versions of the same shells sit lower without losing the arc, and are the ones that work under a window. Length and depth can be re-proportioned within the same shell profile.
