Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levian designed the Quilton sofa. The London-based designers created the modular sofa for the Danish brand called Hay. Described as a "quilted landscape sofa system," the couch features a quilted motif. Inspired by classic sofa designs and tailoring, the furniture piece combines discreet elegance and bold elements.
Rolf Hay, the co-founder of Hay, expresses that the designers "are distinguished by their ability to create products that truly stand out, and they are incredibly original and detail-oriented in the way they think about design." For example, the sofa's subtle floating base is contrasted with its bold quilted pattern. In addition, a thin strip of material separates the sofa from the base, which allows users to mix and match the sofa's materials and colors.
