Meet Bucefalo, a dauntingly dark sofa by Italian designer Emanuele Canova. Inspiration came from the figure of Bucefalo, a legendary black horse which only Alexander The Great succeeded to tame.
The sofa has multiple functions: it allows you to sit, to lounge, and to store your books or design objects (thx, Lorenzo).
Beautiful asymmetric line
The Bucefalo offers space for book storage
The square black steel frame both complements and contrasts with the curved black seat

Now to find a house for this black beauty!
…Very elegant and lightweight. Perfect for an industrial warehouse loft converted…
This is gorgeous and I truly appreciate this type of furniture, however, my concerns is… what happens if I read books with coloured covers ?
Simple and beautiful for sure, yet I wonder if it really is minimalistic.
Nice, and could be perfect with the removal of the bookshelf.
It is so “schick”..
Multipurpose sofa :)
Not my type of minimalism, but I still dig it! Really classy, kind of a “fast” look to it.
Wonder what would happen if you removed the bookshelf and the support in the middle? Might just become one of the best sofas ever.
somehow remenber me of an black Audi
