"We wanted to design a compact but comfortable “family” of sofas that harked back to classic soft furniture styles – especially to the post WW2 period”BASSET’s sculptural language is simple and clear. There are just two elements – a horizontal “pillow” for a seat and a vertical “duvet” at the back that wraps around the seat, embracing it from the sides.Upholstery details – marked piping is used to accentuate its shape in a natural way, giving it an easily recognizable design “signature”.BASSET doesn’t demand much space and fits easily into smaller homes."
