Story
The Plus version
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec designed Alcove Plus Sofa in 2021. Unlike the visible-frame Alcove models, its panels descend nearly to the floor.
Expandable enclosure
Zipped partition screens can add privacy, direct movement or join the sofa into larger arrangements without changing the upholstered seating unit.
