Sofo armchair
The design group Superstudio, known for avant-garde designs and probably the best-known representatives of the Radical Design movement, designed Sofo in 1968. Sofo consists of a armchair and a two-seater sofa, which thanks to their design can be arranged almost endlessly in a row, but can also be placed individually - just as the room situation requires. Expressive color blocking in combination with rally stripes support the fast-paced Optik and make Sofo a sleek seating option.

Motorsport racing teams began using rally stripes to mark their racing cars in the late 1960s / early 1970s - for better differentiation and to visually support the streamlined shape. This marking was adopted in the 1980s by sporty drivers with racing ambitions and the car industry also sometimes uses this design on some models, such as the Ford Mustang. Rally stripes are intended to symbolize a stylization of the race track - in any case, they turn the armchair Sofo into a curvy and streamlined seat, low-slung and perfectly shaped.
And the color of the rally stripes is in stark contrast to the body color. With the armchair Sofo, the base color consists of either Green or pink. Pink rally stripes form the contrast with the green Sofo armchair . On the pink Sofo armchair , orange rally stripes add to the dynamism. With a side length of 82 centimetres, the Sofo armchair has a total height of 70 centimetres. The seat height is 40 centimeters.
The basic shape of the Sofo sofa consists of a polyurethane rectangle that is cut into two equal parts to create two Sofo armchair . This symmetry offers a multitude of possible combinations and makes Sofo perfect for creating seating islands that can be used from several sides. But Sofo is also ideal in a home cinema, as a waiting area in a foyer or as a design element on a seemingly endless long wall, under a window, in an alcove, in front of a box-spring bed or in a bar.
The upholstery fabric is an integral part of the design of Sofo armchair and was also developed by Superstudio especially for Sofo, according to its creator Natalini. He also pays tribute to Superstudio's surrealist and futuristic approach to the design of Sofo.
The armchair Sofo is a unique design object that perfectly combines form and function. A must-have for people with a passion for the extraordinary and an excellent investment that is otherwise only available in design museums and in the changing exhibition at TAGWERC to see. This makes the armchair Sofo an emotional companion rather than a functional piece of furniture - the perfect choice for art connoisseurs and lovers of exclusive furnishings.
