See it from every angle
A form meant to read clearly from every viewpoint. The rotation reveals its volumes, proportions and the details of its making.
Calm shapes
The Elephant Sofa is a simple, elegant series of upholstered seating, designed for the home as well as public spaces. Soft shapes and curved armrests invite you to relax and shift posture at will.
Solid chestnut, pocket springs
Legs carved from solid chestnut, a firm yet comfortable seat carried by a core of pocket springs and quality foams. Two wood finishes, Maharam and Kvadrat upholstery. Combinable modules.
The fabrics
Five upholstery families, from wool knit to recycled denim — each with its own material, hand and character.
Three yarns, a living colour
Kvadrat Steelcut Trio 3 — a three-yarn wool knit that makes the colour vibrate at the surface. Dense, springy and highly hard-wearing (100,000 Martindale) — from the living room to high-traffic spaces.
Depth, gently
Kvadrat Vidar 4 — a wool crêpe weave with a slightly satiny surface and nuanced tones. Matte, warm and very durable (100,000 Martindale).
Two colours woven into one
Kvadrat Coda 2 — two layers of wool in different shades woven together, giving this graphic, textured surface. Understated and durable (100,000 Martindale).
A warm, flecked surface
Maharam Mode & Merit — two New York fabrics: Mode with its flecked recycled yarn, and Merit with its finer two-tone weave. Understated and hard-wearing.
Indigo, a second life
RE:DENIM — recycled denim developed with Factelier for Karimoku New Standard: a dense, matte fabric in deep indigo. An eco-responsible choice (Standard wood only).
