From Comforty:

The very clean, simple form is astonishing in its comfort of use. The innovative solution displaying the construction neither denies nor interferes with classic sofa typology. It is an innovation relying not on stylization but on the search for new solutions. There is a fascinating play between the external and internal elements.

Future Classics Competition

The aim of the undertaking was to select a designer, who would best interpret the competition’s motto – “Future Classics”, of all invited participants, by accomplishing the competition’s task, i.e. design of upholstered furniture for more than one person.

The person who best reflected the idea of the competition turned out to be a Frenchman – Philippe Nigro. The winner presented a piece of furniture called “Floating sofa”.
