Description

Overview

Reversi '14 is a modular sofa by Studio Hannes Wettstein for Molteni&C. An innovative backrest mechanism adjusts the seating depth, from upright focus to leisurely lounging, and the name evokes reversibility and transformation. The datasheet title block gives Reversi '14, Studio Hannes Wettstein, 2014.

Story

Building on earlier experience

The datasheet says Reversi '14, designed by Studio Hannes Wettstein (Stephan Huerlemann and Simon Husslein), is a modular, linear sofa which builds on previous experience in a project that keeps pace with current trends. It names the demand for more softness, wide armrests and high-tech padding.

Workspace and relaxing space

Because the seating depth is adjustable through the movement of the backrest mechanism, the datasheet says a single sofa can be both a workspace and a welcoming relaxing space. The page adds that individual units combine in linear or angled arrangements for private living rooms and dynamic, multifunctional spaces.
