• Lounging around would be even more relaxing, if you could do it with a clear conscience. Therefor this couch is made from local and natural materials. These sequester greenhouse gasses and thereby positively impact the environment. The design also creates a place to lounge for generations to come. To accomplish this, it is made from components that, can be maintained for long periods of time. The sofa is able to grow with you as you move to bigger houses or grow to seat a bigger family. Modules can also be connected in a variety of combinations; serving many ways to sit. Last but not least: it is an ergonomic couch. The key module is a triangular one, which can be used in both levels of incline. Straight up, to actively sit and lying down, to really relax your body and soul.
