Story
Soft architecture
Arper characterizes Loop as a sequence of sofa elements that can act like a drawn line in space. Straight, curved, angular and circular arrangements let the upholstered system define boundaries without relying on rigid partitions.
From compact sofa to extended composition
The same family includes fixed two- and three-seat sofas and modules for longer assemblies. Loop can therefore remain a single freestanding piece or become a continuous configuration for waiting and meeting areas. The manufacturer awarded the design a Red Dot Product Design Award in 2010.
