Architecture-Inspired Seating Furniture

Note Design Studio Boasts a Line of Vibrant Designer Poufs

— July 9, 2018 — Art & Design
Stockholm-based firm Note Design Studio produces a set of designer poufs that reference the architectural forms of arches. The collection is dubbed ‘Arkad,’ which from Swedish translates to ‘arcade.’ This is a reference to the arrangement of the “positive arches” when they “are placed side by side.” The designer poufs are created for family-run business Zilio A&C. The furniture pieces are modular in construction and “can be used separately or combined to function as a larger [seating arrangement].”

Note Design Studio makes its designer poufs available in blue, mustard yellow, burgundy and charcoal. The seating furniture has a timber base and maintains a fluidly clean aesthetic. Moreover, the designer poufs offer an elegant and architecturally inspired embellishment – an arrangement perfect for “retail, lounge and residential environments.”
