Case Study
Wendelbo
A study on rounded lines, modularity and design that activate connections and communication
Inspired by the plant it is named after, the Aloe lounge chair (2021) embodies the contrasting textures of its leaves. The outer surface of the shell is both smooth and taut, creating a striking juxtaposition with the inner section that highlights the softness of its components. A meticulous stitching detail adorns all edges, gracefully following the contours from the enveloping armrests to the curved backrest, evoking a sense of effortless flexibility.
Cinder Block (2020) is a modular sofa system that allows a large s variety of settings through a limited number of elements.
Based on squared modules, the seats are available in three different sizes. They look at the classic proportions of Italian upholstered furniture to build combinations by generous dimensions to enhance the comfort. A tray composed of an inner metal plate covered in leather offers a support surface easily applicable to both the armrests and backrests.
Characterised by the harmonic balance between aesthetic and functionality, Sepal (2020) is a “family” composed of a sofa, lounge chair, dining chairs and dining table. The enveloping soft shapes of the upholstered enhance the comfort of the seat while the metal structure, by avoiding edges, suggests a welcoming feeling of elegance, setting itself as a distinctive design detail that marks the entire family of products.
In our modern lives, where virtual and remote interactions have become commonplace, the Lilin sofa (2019) is designed to encourage communication and togetherness. The sofa's soft shapes and rounded lines create a comfortable and inviting environment, while its curved structure promotes a relaxed seating position for easy conversation.
