Slow Sofa

Part of minimalist architecture is reducing the number of elements in a space, often done by creating monolithic objects combining multiple functions in to one.

Dutch designer Frederik Roijé has done just that in his latest piece of furniture, a range of sofas with an integral side-table. In doing so he has removed the need for a separate coffee table, integrating it in a single piece of furniture.

Called Slow Sofa, the seat can be reconfigured in various arrangements, including a corner sofa. Parts include a table, storage, cushions and a frame support that can be used for seating or as a daybed.

Pillar

Brad Ascalon has designed Pillar for Bernhardt Design, with an inverted pyramidal form as a starting point.

The armchair is built up of trapezoids only and the armrests are perfectly integrated into the design. I think these characteristics make the design looks hard, sturdy and stable.

Brad Ascalon is from Philadelphia. In 2006 he founded Brand Ascalon Studio NYN.
