Designer Ricardo Sá introduces the new Cask sofa that is highlighted by its built-in storage unit that is seamlessly integrated into the silhouette by the bottom. This creates a modern look as it has an upholstered seating section that opens up at the front to store items and has a shelf at the back for displaying small items including books or plants, or even photo frames.
When designing the Cask sofa, Ricardo Sá notes that he went about it by creating a couch that “gives people plenty of room for storage and spot to put down their coffee.” With a closer look at the soda, the upholstery has slightly curved detailing to create a textural look.
