Acutely Angled Couches

The Tomek Rygalik Chopin Sofa is Dynamically Sloped

— July 6, 2012 — Art & Design
Although minimalism prefers lines to remain clean and vertical, the asymmetrical angles of the Tomek Rygalik Chopin Sofa add an unexpected twist to modern spaces. While the majority of the couch is fairly clean-cut, the back rest slopes downward.

The sofa is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also proves to boast multiple functions -- ideal for today's every-shifting families. The piece can be rearranged as a standard sofa, armchair and chaise lounge, depending on the room's needs and functions. The modular-esque arms and back provide just enough privacy without obstructing the home owner from the rest of the action. The chair comes in two distinct shades: a matte black and a bold crimson.

The Tomek Rygalik Chopin Sofa fits into any contemporary home and provides comfort with added character.
