The Bau Design 'Pebble' sofa is an asymmetrical furniture creation by Danish designer Santiago Bautista that seeks to provide a modern aesthetic that is also inherently comfortable. The eye-catching design looks like the rear backrest has been slid over to one side, which creates a small void on the opposite end that is filled in the front with a built-in side table. This creates a multifunctional design that is perfect for small living areas, offices or waiting rooms to convey a certain sense of efficiency.
The Bau Design 'Pebble' sofa is also focused on modularity by enabling multiple units to be linked together to create a more substantial seating section. This accommodates larger areas that require more seating to make the furniture piece suitable for any kind of space or function.
