Reverb sofa
OKHA
EVERB is created when a sound,
“Rsignal or frequency is reflected off
of a surface causing numerous reflections
to build up.” Adam Court – OKHA
REVERB is an evolution of the Repose
sofa narrative, it continues the exploration
of organic form; of fluid seating landscapes
and of sculptural dialogue.
The focus and essence of the sofa is
its nuanced echo of left and right forms,
not a mirror image but a reverberation of
one form creating a similar other, hence
REVERB.
Viewed from all angles, REVERB
appears as a free-flowing stream of
consciousness simultaneously intuitive
and predestined.
The form is subtly asymmetric, the seat
depth also varied as the form of the sofa
unfolds. The arching back rest emerges
from a central plateau, spans out from
a vacant space and curves gracefully
to create elegantly banking arms and
backrests both left and right.
REVERB Echo / Ripple / Reverberation
REVERB is the persistence of sound
after a sound is produced.
The seating configuration and
gentle apex form of the sofa encourage
engagement between sitters; it is a design
which provokes, stimulates and inspires
interaction. dw
