apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Alcove Sofa

2007-04-13-sofa.png

A room within a room. The Alcove sofa features super high, soft sides that function almost as walls to enclose those lucky enough to stretch out or cuddle up on it. The design is dramatic, but not cartoonish.

We think this is an ideal solution to blending the new trend toward more decorative pieces into a clean lined modern interior. It just looks and feels very "French" to us, and it is - it was designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

The sides are made from plastic panels reinforced with fiberglass and the frame is chromed steel.

From Vitra.

It looks rather shallow, not good for cuddling up.

Are you worried about the lack of space and comfort? Considering the compact spacing and the growing influx of new ideally designed rooms, people need to free up some space in their bedroom to accommodate and adhere towards the changing fashion and times.
People have turned towards the new breed of sofa beds for solutions. Wieder leads the call for such innovation and these modern sofa beds may perhaps be the answer most people are looking for.
