Romanian brand Askia Furniture has unveiled a look at the new modular seating series dubbed the Ripple sofa collection. The name is inspired by the ruched edges that are meant to reflect the draping fabrication. The collection is mainly meant for office interior design and due to the reconfigurable elements, it is able to meet the ever-changing needs in a workspace.
All of the components have cushions clotted to the solid frame and lined with soft fabric with French chunky seams. The brand explains the design, describing the seating as having "Delicate ripples and relaxed edges mimic the elegance of draped fabric, creating a sense of movement, a unique interplay between texture and form. The Ripple softens the atmosphere of any conventional space, making it more inviting and less rigid."
