Asymmetrically Bold Couches

The Apollo Sofa by Tatiana Bortkevic is Inspired by Architecture

— October 31, 2012 — Art & Design
The Apollo Sofa is deceptively simple. It shuns traditional couch dimensions for a design that is subtly asymmetrical. Almost like a daybed, one side of the Apollo Sofa slopes higher than the other side. Unlike a daybed, however, the seat follows suit for an elevated position that would encourage lifted torsos or feet.

Designed by Tatiana Bortkevic of Archidea Design, a studio based in Paris, France, the Apollo Sofa is inspired by modern architectural forms. Comprised of sleek, minimalist lines, the Apollo Sofa hree different colors: red, black and white. Perfect for the contemporary home, it adds a rich and bold element to existing decor thanks to its velvet upholstery and stable chrome frame. It has a slight feminine appeal.
