Pleats-Pleats Sofa
In accordance with the old saying, March has come in like a lion from coast to coast. If we're lucky, by the end of the month, we'll be ready for lawn chairs and lemonade (or at least some spring cleaning). Among the new designs emerging in time for fair weather is the Pleats-Pleats Sofa by Imaginary office.
The Pleats-Pleats Sofa combines the nostalgic handicraft of macramé (in the year's most popular color) with bright white powder coated steel. Designed by a trio of designer/architect brothers (in good company, as they point out, with the Bouroullecs and the Campanas), the sofa was unveiled at last month's Stockholm Furniture Fair. Who knew summer camp craft skills could be such a good launch pad for successful design careers?

The Best Lounge Chair Shape
Go with something that’s sleek, sexy, and swivels rather than something big and voluminous so it can offset a big, cushy couch and balance the rest of your furniture.

When in Doubt, Recover
Comfort is the number one concern, then textiles. You can transform the look and feel of a sofa by just changing the fabric, rather than buying a whole new piece.

i never get tired of seeing such obvious solutions, the ones that are immediately 'obvious' once you've seen them, the mark of true iconoclastic designers. great piece.
the sofa was unveiled at last month's Stockholm Furniture Fair. Who knew summer camp craft skills could be such a good launch pad for successful design careers.Pleats-Pleats Sofa combines the nostalgic handicraft of macrame. think its new. try to your home.
lovely piece, great for the summer, can't wait to see the whole series!
It looks very neat and comfortable. But I think it's hard to clean it. Furthermore, I think I want it in my back yard for relaxation.
I also guess that it is very hard to clean, nevertheless it looks very comfy. does anybody know what material it is made of?
