We live in a day and age where design is used as an expressive tool to advocate for a belief—the Iceberg Sofa by furniture brand Fnji, for example, is focused on "giving voice to the environment" and redirecting discourse to the dangers of climate change.
The chic and contemporary Iceberg Sofa has a striking silhouette that is " inspired by the organic wind- and frost-made forms of its namesake." The piece is a continuation of the Fnji Crestline collection which includes other environmentally minded creations such as the Mountain Sofa, released back in 2019.
Consisting of six independent blocks, the Iceberg Sofa is uniquely upholstered with multi-purpose and high-quality Kvardat Fiord wool fabric.
