Torii Bold Sofa
2023 Torii Bold Sofa
nendo 2023
Nendo studio has adapted the original iconic Torii design with Torii Bold. The two families dialogue harmoniously with each other in a clever interplay of full and empty volumes. Torii Bold is characterised by the contrast between the large, softly rounded volumes of the upholstery and the lightness of the small metal feet, embellished with a jewel-like button.
The sofa has a gently curved silhouette in both the small and large sizes, the slim backrest is punctuated by a vertical quilting effect and piping that outlines the perimeter of the upholstery: sartorial detail that emphasise the couture aspect of the craftsmanship.
