The Confucius Sofa
There is something to be said about “smart furniture shopping”. It would make or break the mood of a room and a building’s overall look. But you can take that literally as well. German furniture and fixtures manufacturing company Bretz invites you to take your seat on the Confucius Sofa, where you can put your thinking cap on and ponder on the intricacies of life… or what you’d have for dinner later. One look at this plush and utterly unique sofa, and you know you won’t have too much of a hard time thinking about your options. Hey, you may even enjoy going through your options while kicking back and relaxing on the cushions!
Contrasts and opposites seem to be the major theme running through the Confucius Sofa’s design, as conceptualized and brought to its four-dimensional glory by Alexander Nettensheim. While some sofas are purely lines and corners, while others opt for just curves and bends, Nettensheim ingeniously integrated them into the Confucius Sofa. As far as experimental furniture designs go, the combination of sleek, straight lines with sweeping and seemingly distorted angles would definitely make anyone looking at it think – at least for a while – and then shrug it off, chucking it to pure genius and creativity.
It is clear that, haphazard though it may look at a glance, Nettensheim put a LOT OF THOUGHT in this design, not leaving any stones unturned with regards to the material, the fabric and even the patterns. The leather material used in this “sofa with a lean” is high quality, adding a touch of undeniable class, making this a perfect centerpiece for any home or office setting.
Named after one of the greatest thinkers of our time, the Confucius Sofa is an intelligent mix of comfort and style. Although it seems to lean to the side, it still provides more than ample support for everyone seated on it. It hugs and follows the contour of the body, so discomfort would be the last thing on your mind. You may even find yourself being lulled to a relaxing sleep once your back and head rests against the plushness of the sofa.
This also ticks every discerning person’s aesthetic sensibilities. Aside from the classic black leather, the Confucius Sofa also comes in other colors, depending on your personal preference or what overall decorative theme you are going after for your home or workplace.
