Ukrainian product design studio Mukomelov recently designed an extremely streamlined and clean looking sofa called the Zeppelin Sofa, which was inspired by German inventor Ferdinand Zeppelin's airship.
The philosophy behind the design capitalizes on the element of air travel by airships. The comfortable sofa has the design of a flying blind in mind, with the curves and outline that imitate a blimp. The result is an aerodynamic structure that combines extreme comfort and style, adding a piece of the sky inside your home.
The contemporary and dynamically shaped sofa is fitted with a composition of soft linings that help enhance the comfort level of the sitter, giving the user a new and different level of comfort coupled with smooth lines that resembles sitting on a soft cloud.
