Story
Part sofa, part dormeuse
Three Sofa de Luxe challenges the idea of a sofa as a simple seat. For this collection Jasper Morrison combines the sofa with the dormeuse in one design, and the sculptural forms give it a strong identity.
Upholstered elements with a distinctive seat line
The collection groups upholstered elements, sofas and a lounge chair, that share a peculiar line of the seat. Aluminium feet carry them, and the fixed covers come in the leathers and fabrics from the collection.
