Bold Upholstered Retro Furniture

Holloway Li Designs the T4 Sofa with a PVC Fabric Material

London design firm Holloway Li works together with Spanish design brand Uma to present the latest version of their T4 sofa. This time, it is complete in a red upholstered PVC fabric material. The two also join forces with accessories brand CAHU, as the plush sections of the model are covered in the wipe-clean material that has been seen on the brand's tote bags.

The bright red color is joined by an off-white Cream Soda color made with a fiberglass shell, which ensures that the furniture is prepared for indoor and outdoor environments. The T4 is cemented as a piece that will transcend time. It was originally available in four shades, including yellow, pink, orange, and off-white.
