Made in Portugal by De La Espada
Sofa Eight is a continuation of Neri&Hu's exploration of an expressive tectonic language. The main supporting element of the sofa is a traditional wood joinery assemblage of stacking members in the X, Y, and Z-axes, pinned together to form a structural base. The cushioned seating utilizes memory foam for comfort while maintaining clean, firm lines. Playing with the notion of modularity, variations on the structure allow for add-ons, such as a side table.

With an intention to question the potential in "Chinese design", neri&hu seeks to alternatives to the normative.
